Wydad plays 4-2-3-1 under the leadership of Argentine Miguel Jamondi, the fifth coach of the Moroccan team this season.
The Wydad formation currently includes 4 players who participated in the crowning of the Champions 2017 at the expense of Al-Ahly: Abdel-Latif Naseer, right back, and Walid Al-Karti, midfielder, with his partner, Salah El-Din Saidi, who played as a defense in the last rounds of the league due to absences in the defensive line.

And the fourth of them is the most prominent element, Ismail Al-Haddad, the left wing.
With players in midfield who are able to pass the ball perfectly, you will always find Wydad taking the ball out of his own half without issue to create a hazard to the opponent’s goal.
Walid El Karti is still present as player number 8 in Wydad’s midfield, and in front of him is Ayman Al-Hassouni, who plays the most prominent role in the advance of the ball.
Al-Hassouni, the playmaker, can direct masterful passes to Wydad’s attack.
And here appears the first task required of Aliu Diang, who will be the Al-Ahly player closest to his defense to face Al-Hassouni.
Let’s look at an example of how Wydad builds his possibilities.
The ball is at the playmaker’s foot and then a short pass to Ismail Al-Haddad on the left side to use his ability to send a cross to Junior Magby.

The same phrase is repeated in carbon, but this time the ball reaches Badi ‘Awok, who kicks directly into the goal.

Al-Hassouni also chooses to shoot at goal as long as Al-Haddad or Awok’s passing corners are closed.
Al-Hassouni opted to shoot directly, although Awok was blamed for not passing it.

Wydad does not change his philosophy although he did not come out with an organized attack from the middle of his stadium.
The ball will come out with a clean longitudinal pass to the wing of the team so that the attack develops in the same way.

This way, you will always find Wydad hurting the opponents goal, so Ismail Al-Haddad scored 9 goals and scored 7.
The most prominent Wydad player currently under Ismail Al-Haddad is right winger Badi ‘Awouk, 24.
Awok scored 7 goals for Wydad this season and made 6.
In this video, Awok goes down near the middle of the field to receive the ball and snatches with it the side who watches him with a player from the opposing midfield.
Then he passes the ball, uses his speed to kick, receives it again and plays the center.
A shot that Awok repeats a lot.

Awok is not the winger who plays down the line, you will always find him stepping onto the field to be a second striker.
In this way, he receives the longitudinal pass when Wydad wants to use spaces on his opponent’s court.

See another example of Awok’s ability to tame the ball and then create danger.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr9ZasXLnco
In the same way, he receives the ball from the right side and then runs back to send the cross.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaYCu3hCDiY
Therefore, I am not ruling out Ahmed Fathy’s continuation in the basic formation as a left-back, as a kind of defensive insurance for this striker against Awok’s speed.
Well, how does Wydad defend himself?
On a regular basis, Wydad players stand in the middle of their stadium to close all passing corners in front of their opponents.
This defensive method makes the most important danger for the team is the offensive transformation and the organization of counterattacks on the wings with the attacker who sometimes turns out to be a station to receive the longitudinal ball.
Therefore, there will be no better solution than the departure of Al-Ahly with the fast ball from half a stadium and with elaborate passes to take advantage of Wydad’s slow defensive rebound.

Just as the right front constitutes an offensive danger for Wydad, it is also a clear defensive weakness, especially since all the UK’s energy is directed at attack.
And the speed of the opponent’s far left always creates problems with Abdel Latif Nassir’s slow rebound, back to Wydad.
Therefore, the participation of Mahmoud Abdel Moneim “Kahraba” will be very important for Al-Ahly if he is prepared, because he will be able to exploit the defensive weakness of this front and limit the offensive role of Nasir.

With the problems facing the Wydad center-back, with Sheikh Kumara and Ashraf Dari injured, it is natural to find such shots.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-I8yK2FxcQ
But it is still unclear if Wydad will get Kumar and Dari back before facing Al-Ahly or not.

Look at this opportunity created by Wydad’s rival and strangely wasted due to the slow defensive rebound on Wydad.
