Former Al-Ahly and Egypt defender Wael Gomaa expressed confidence that Al-Ahly will win the African title for the ninth time against Zamalek, despite being a different final against traditional rivals.
Jumaa believes that this tournament is very important for the current generation to create new motives and put the club on the right path.
Ninth title:
Jumaa said on Al-Ahly TV: “The ninth title was important in Al-Ahly’s career and put the club on the right track.”
“The victory then contributed to the Egyptian Cup, the African Super Cup, the qualification for the Club World Cup and the Egyptian Super Cup against the Vanguard of the Army,” he added.
“It was difficult for Al-Ahly to lose the final for the third time in such a short time,” Gomaa stressed.
He continued, “In addition to the fact that the final was against his traditional competitor in a final that is only repeated once in a lifetime, so his calculations were different.”
He continued: “I was confident that Al-Ahly would crown the title. We have the best goalkeeper in Africa, Al-Shennawi, the best professional Ali Maaloul, and Aliou Diang has also been putting in great levels since his arrival.”
“This match will create great motivations for the current generation, new goals and give them confidence,” Jumaa revealed.
Manuel Jose:
Speaking of Manuel José, Jumaa said: “He has a very big impact on our generation and he put us on the professional path, and he contributed to change the way of thinking of the players and put us on reason.”
He continued, “José contributed to change the level of many players, among them Barakat, who returned from the Qatar League, and some speak of a bad level to become one of the stars of Al-Ahly.”
“José is one of the great personalities we face,” Gomaa emphasized, “it was difficult to control a generation like ours, but he managed it through his intelligence.”
“José managed to create motivations for us, and he made us feel that it was from us and from his encounter with people on the street and his goal is to win Africa,” he added.
“Hossam Ghaly, one of the distinguished stars of the club, however, put a square on him inside the stadium and asked him not to leave it for the whole match, because Ghali loves movement, and in fact that period was one of my best periods with the team. “
“I won the CAF Champions League 6 times before and lost a final to Etoile Sahel. I did not play the rematch and this caused a dispute with Manuel José that lasted two months, and the administration refused to leave me permanently, so they yielded to me at that time, “Jumaa revealed.
He concluded his comments: “After the 2008 African Nations Championship in Ghana, José and the Al-Ahly management spoke to me to recover. José informed me of his desire to end my career in the team, but I continued for almost 8 years afterwards. of that”.
