Wael Gomaa Assesses Al Ahly’s Start and Identifies What the Team Needs in the Coming Period 🔴⚽

Former Al Ahly star Wael Gomaa commented on the team’s current level following its victory over Abu Qir Fertilizers, stressing that the team has not yet reached the level everyone is hoping for, while describing the start as positive and expecting performances to improve in the coming period.

Gomaa explained that Al Ahly is still going through a period of building and preparation, particularly with differences in physical readiness among the players, the gradual return of several members of the squad and the process of integrating new signings into the team.

Wael Gomaa: The Start Is Good.. and Things Will Improve

Wael Gomaa said in television comments after the match: “I think it’s a good start. We still haven’t reached the best level we want from the players, and hopefully things will be better going forward.”

The former Al Ahly star pointed out that the team will benefit from the return of several players in the coming period, particularly as they receive more time to reach the required level of readiness and gain match fitness.

He added: “A lot of players will return and will have reached match fitness, and we will use the break to play friendly matches to prepare the players who have been away from participation for a while.”

The break gives head coach Hossam Amouta an opportunity to improve the readiness of players who have not received enough playing time, while also allowing him to test different tactical solutions away from the pressure of official matches.

Differences in Physical Readiness Present a Challenge for Al Ahly 🔥

Wael Gomaa also discussed one of the most important issues affecting Al Ahly’s current performances: the differences in physical readiness among the players.

He said: “There are major physical differences between the players. Some started preseason and continued, while unfortunately others suffered setbacks during preseason, did not play friendly matches and were not ready to be with us.”

Gomaa believes these natural differences at the beginning of the season require time to gradually disappear, particularly because players had different preparation and participation conditions, which can contribute to variations in performance from one match to another.

Injuries Have Affected Al Ahly’s Options

Wael Gomaa also pointed out that Al Ahly has lost several important players to injuries during the recent period, affecting the coaching staff’s options and having an impact on the team’s overall shape.

He said: “We lost more than one player, such as El Gazar and Belaamri. They were important and influential in our performances.”

The absence of several players comes at a time when the coaching staff is trying to find the most stable lineup, making the return of injured players and preparation of alternatives important priorities during the coming period.

New Signings Need Time to Adapt

Gomaa also discussed the impact of the team’s new signings, stressing that bringing new players into an established group requires time before the desired chemistry develops and the coaching staff settles on the most suitable tactical approach.

He added: “With the arrival of new signings, these things take time in terms of chemistry and settling on the way we play, and hopefully things will be better going forward.”

The former Al Ahly star’s comments highlight the importance of the next stage, as the coaching staff works to integrate the new players with the existing squad while also recovering absent players and improving overall physical readiness.

Abu Qir Victory.. A Step at the Beginning of the Road 🏆

Al Ahly defeated Abu Qir Fertilizers to continue its campaign this season, with Hossam Amouta’s coaching staff working to take the team to its best possible technical and physical level.

According to Wael Gomaa’s assessment, the victory represents a positive start, but the team still has room for development, particularly with more players returning and the break being used to prepare those who need additional playing time.

Al Ahly fans will be watching closely to see how the team performs after the break, particularly as the squad could gradually take on a different shape with improved fitness and greater chemistry among the players. 🔴✨
