🔴 Al Ahly Completes Its Evening Training Session in Spain

The Al Ahly first football team completed its evening training session on Thursday as part of its closed training camp currently being held in Spain, continuing preparations for the new season amid a clear focus from the coaching staff on improving the players’ physical and technical readiness. ⚽🔥

The session featured the participation of Akram Tawfik, while the coaching staff continued working on preparing all players ahead of the team’s second friendly match of the training camp against Spanish side Europa on Friday.

The upcoming match is part of a series of tests Al Ahly is playing in Spain, giving the players an opportunity to regain match sharpness and reach their best physical and technical condition before the start of official competitions.

🧠 Ammouta Gives Players Instructions Before Training

Before the training session began, Houcine Ammouta, Al Ahly’s head coach, held a brief meeting with the players, during which he explained several technical and tactical points and provided specific instructions ahead of the upcoming match.

Ammouta also discussed the team’s previous friendly against Badalona, in which Al Ahly secured a 3-0 victory. He praised the players’ performance while calling for continued focus and further improvement in the upcoming matches. ⭐🔴

The instructions reflect the coaching staff’s desire to make full use of the friendly matches, not only to achieve victories but also to test different tactical ideas and assess how well the players respond to them on the pitch.

💪 Physical Training to Improve Fitness Levels

After the technical meeting, Al Ahly’s players moved on to the physical aspect of the session, completing a series of exercises under the supervision of the fitness coach, with the aim of improving their physical condition and ability to handle the demands of matches.

The program also included a running session around the pitch as part of the physical preparation plan being implemented by the coaching staff during the Spanish camp.

Al Ahly is placing significant importance on physical preparation at this stage, particularly with the start of the new season approaching, as the team needs to reach peak fitness levels before entering a busy schedule of domestic and continental matches. 💪⚽

🎯 Focus on Set Pieces and Crosses

The final part of the training session featured tactical and strategic exercises, with the coaching staff focusing on several attacking solutions that could be used during matches.

One of the main areas of focus was the effective use of set pieces and crosses, as they represent important attacking weapons that can provide the team with additional solutions, particularly in matches where breaking through defensive lines from central areas becomes difficult.

The coaching staff is currently working on diversifying the team’s playing methods and testing more than one attacking scenario in an effort to find the ideal tactical structure before the start of the new season. 🔥🎯

🏟️ Al Ahly Prepares for the Camp’s Second Friendly

Al Ahly is preparing to play its second friendly match in the Spanish training camp against Spanish side Europa on Friday, providing the coaching staff with another opportunity to assess the players and test different tactical ideas.

The match comes after Al Ahly’s 3-0 victory over Badalona, a result that provided the team with a positive boost but remains only one part of a longer preparation program aimed at achieving complete readiness.

Several players are expected to receive playing time during the match, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate different squad members and determine their readiness for the official competitions. 🏆⚽

🌍 Barcelona Awaits Al Ahly at the End of the Camp

Al Ahly’s training camp in Spain will continue until August 20, with the team scheduled to conclude its preparations with a major clash against Barcelona on August 19 in the Joan Gamper Trophy at Spotify Camp Nou.

The highly anticipated encounter has attracted significant attention as a major test against one of Europe’s most prominent clubs and an important opportunity for Al Ahly to measure its progress during the preparation period.

With the new season approaching, Al Ahly is looking to make the most of every moment of its Spanish camp in order to reach its best technical and physical setup, amid major expectations from its supporters for another season filled with competition and trophies. 🔴🏆✨
