Report .. How does Zamalek compensate for Corona’s absence at the end of the century?

The Zamalek club announced that three players in the team’s ranks were infected with the Corona virus after the results of a medical swab performed by the players appeared before the final of the African Champions League under the supervision of the Football Confederation. African (CAF).

Zamalek will meet his traditional rival Al-Ahly in the final of the African Champions League next Friday, at the International Stadium in Cairo.

The Zamalek team medical smear results were negative for the team players, while the results of the trio Mahmoud Hamdi “Al-Wensh”, Abdullah Jumaa, and Youssef Ibrahim “Obama” appeared positive.

Zamalek have a big problem before entering the final of the African Champions League, after 3 players were injured among the main elements of the team. Who will make up for their absence?

Defensive problem

The absence of two defensive elements for Zamalek was confirmed, as the Mahmoud Hamdi Al-Wensh duo, who plays at the heart of the defense, will be absent, in addition to the absence of Abdullah Jumaa, the white club’s left back.

And Jamie Pacheco, Club Blanco coach, will have a single solution to make up for Al-Winch’s absence at the heart of Zamalek’s defense, pushing Muhammad Abdel-Ghani to play alongside Mahmoud Alaa, the team’s defender.

The biggest problem will be the absence of Abdullah Gomaa, who occupies the left-back position, and the problem lies in the absence of another left-back in the team, in the absence of Mohamed Abdel Shafi, who is good playing in this position for the injury suffered during his team’s match against Al-Ahly in the Egyptian League.

Pacheco will have two options to compensate for Jumah’s absence from the team in the African final, the first is to push Muhammad Abdul Salam, the team’s defender, or Islam Jaber in the left-back position and play with Ahmed Eid or Hazem Imam in the right back position, or use Hazem Imam or Ahmed Eid in the left back position. Let the other player occupy the right back position.

The Obama Alternative

The Portuguese coach trusted Yusef Ibrahim “Obama” in the midfielder position under the attacking trio Ahmed Sayed “Zizou”, Ashraf Bencharki and Mustafa Mohamed, but after his injury, Pacheco must change the way the team plays or push another player .

The first solution is to include Mohamed Onajem in the left position, instead of Ashraf Bencharki, with the Moroccan wing participating in the Obama Center.

The second solution against Pacheco, which the team relied on many times, is to push Kasungo Kabongo down the left wing and participate with Sharqi in the position of player number 10.

The last solution for the Portuguese coach is to push Muhammad Hassan after recovering from the Corona virus with Tariq Hamed in midfield, for the Tunisian Ferjani Sassi to advance to play at the Obama Center or for the team to play with three in the midfield with the participation of Sassi, Tariq Hamed and Mohamed Hassan.
