Mohamed Abdel Monsef, leader of the Tigris Valley, thanked Petsu Musmiani, technical director of Al-Ahly, after praising him.
Al-Ahly settled for a 0-0 draw against their guest, Wadi Degla, on matchday five of the Egyptian League, a match that witnessed an unnatural brilliance from Abdel Monsef, especially in the second half.
“I thank Musimani for the words he said about me at the post-match press conference,” Abdel Monsef said via On Time Sports 2.
He continued: “This is a tribute to a coach who achieved 3 championships in a month from Al-Ahly, and for this I thank him very much.”
He added: “My level is not a coincidence, but the result of a lot of work and training.”
He continued: “My last two matches with a clean net were against Zamalek and Al-Ahly.”
Musimani had declared at the post-match press conference: “His goalkeeper (Mohamed Abdel Monsef) performed well. I think he is the man of the match, and he had great saves in the match.”
He revealed: “I work to speed up my reaction by training the laser. The guards trainer aims the laser at the wall and I touch the wall with my hand where the laser is shining.”
He explained: “Dimitri, the coach of the guards, has been infected with Corona a week ago, I contacted him via WhatsApp before the game and he gave me instructions to face Al-Ahly.”
He continued: “It hurt me not to join the Egyptian national team for two consecutive coaching teams, but I’m sure the current body is following up well.”
He concluded: “The most difficult ball I faced in the match was Ali Maaloul’s shot because he had hit the bird and there were a crowd of defenders and the vision was not clear.”
Abdel Monsef had declared immediately after the match: “We lost the previous game against Smouha in the last moments with a counterattack, although we were better. It was necessary not to lose points in the next game, but his difficulty was that it was against Al-Ahly.”
He continued through On Time Sports 1: “Al-Ahly have obtained great results in previous games, scoring three and four quarters, but we took advantage of the numerical deficit in their ranks.”
He continued: “I hope that God heals the players infected with Corona and that they return to the stadiums soon.”
He added: “But we certainly benefited from the lack of many influential options capable of making a difference on Al-Ahly’s bench, the majority of those present were young players.”
And he continued: “Al-Ahly always make the difference in the last 20 or 15 minutes, even if they are ahead on the scoreboard. So I stressed that my players between the two halves must remain intact in defense until the end.”
He explained, “Al-Ahly is distinguished by very high speeds in his offensive line, and it was necessary not to leave them spaces.”
Abdel Monsef went on to talk about his record-breaking search for legendary goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary.
“I don’t mean to break anyone’s numbers, but rather to stay on the field,” Abdel-Monsef said.
He continued: “I don’t want to break the numbers from the bench, I want to be in the stadium and show myself well. I will turn 44 next month, and the numbers are achieved alone.”
“I participated in 25 consecutive seasons in the Egyptian League, and this is an honor for me and will be considered an Egyptian record worldwide.”
He jokingly added: “Al-Hadari counts my matches, and I try to deal with the matter with a joke (Ashan Al-Hadhari doesn’t stop). Last time I got Corona and thank God I had a good time.
He added, “Essam is a great and great guard. He didn’t accomplish what he accomplished out of nowhere, but he worked hard to achieve what he accomplished.”
Al-Ahly settled for raising his score to 10 points in second place in 4 games, behind leader El-Gouna, who has 11 points in 5 games.
Wadi Degla raised his score to 5 points in ninth place from 4 games.
Dropping points to Al-Ahly in the Egyptian League for the first time this season, after winning all three of their previous matches.
