Zamalek is causing a possible Esperance revolt to return to Avery leadership

In the CAF Champions League season (2016-2017), Al-Ahly turned the table against Esperance, the event being the quarterfinals between the two teams in the club’s first competition.

Esperance in the battle was able to impose a positive draw on Al-Ahly in Burj Al Arab with two goals for each team, so Al-Ahly was forced to achieve victory or draw with more than two goals in the match of return.

The second leg, which was held at the “Olympic” stadium in Brads, Al-Ahly won by two goals to one, despite the progress of the team “Bab Souika” in the result, with a goal that came from a shot Taha Yassine El-Khenissi prison.

Al-Ahly called from the heart of the Tunisian capital a shock to Esperance, his management and his fans. This clash was not the first that Zamalek returned this season to twice beat the sheik of the first Tunisian clubs by defeating him in the Super African to crown the white team with the title. .

– The exit from Bizerte and the exit from Sassi:

After Al-Ahly’s continental exclusion, the Esperance Administration began to take many steps, both technically and at the reinforcement level. The first decision was Fawzi Benzarti’s departure from the technical mission.

As for the level of the players, Esperance left several prominent names, including Samuel Aduk, Qasim Pasha of Turkey, Ferjani Sassi, to the Saudi victory, Fakhruddin bin Youssef, to the Saudi agreement.

The start was by beating Al-Ahly in the 2018 final, despite the superiority of the red team going (3-1), but the return match saw the correction of the track in favor of Esperance by winning three without answer.

The latest version of the African Champions League competition saw Esperance crown the continental championship for the second time in a row and the fourth in his career by winning at the expense of Wydad Casablanca, despite the fact that the match was not completed due to protest by the Moroccan team against the performance of the refereeing and the lack of operation of the video system in the second leg held in Prades.

Zamalek Shock:

Zamalek during this season followed in Al-Ahly’s footsteps to give Mit Oqba’s sons a blow to Esperance in the African Super Cup, then excluded him from the African Champions League competition and deprived him of preserving the title for third consecutive season.

According to the Tunisian newspaper “Al-Shorouk”, French coach Patrice Carteron, Zamalek’s current coach, is considered the top candidate for Esperance next season due to the end of his contract this season with White Castle.
