fair enough draw
Ahly dominated for 45 minutes n Zamalek did the same for the 2nd 45 minutes
let me say Congratulations for us Ahlawiya reachin the semi final n good luck 2 Zamalek in their last chance that seems very very narrow.
IMO Manuel Jose costed Ahly 2day the 3 points for his silly substitutions
1st when he started the match with 3 DMs in Boga , Ashoor n Ahmed Hassan things were goin quiet well n Ahly made a lot of chances n dominated the game cause Ashoor n Boga were winnin the ball from Zamalek n Ahmed Hassan was the connector between them n the strikers with his creativity
so why should i take out Ahmed Hassan at half time n bring in Sedik ????
ok i know Sedik was needed 2 fill the blank n spaces Barakt left behind him while attackin which caused Zamalek's equiliser but not in Ahmed Hassan's place he should have brought him in for either Boga or Ashoor cause they both have same role which is winnin the ball n they both lack creativity that Ahmed Hassan provides.
so Ahmed Hassan with Ashoor should be a good combination , a pure DM in Ashhor n a creative CM in Ahmed Hassan.
2nd when he though about the mistake he already done he went 2 fix it by playin Gilberto as a CM n he brought in Sayed Mo3awad in Boga's place , what he did simply was the followin
1- he killed any danger we can perform on the left wing Thanx 2 Sayed Mo3awad cause he is slow n clueless n this should never be the features of a winger
2- he gave Zamalek full control of midfield cause Gilberto sux in the mid of the park n we can only consider Ashoor the only one playin in his position
3rd Ahmed Belal for Flavio !!!!!!
a huge question mark on this one , Flavio was havin a great game he scored the 1st n made the assist for the 2nd goal n Flavio's movement n pace n finishin was 2 cause troubles 2 Zamalek's weak defence at any second so why take him out 2 bring an off form n a long time away of matches Belal.
Jose takes not less than 50% of the responsability of the draw and we can leave the rest for the blind refree , i wont talk about refreein a lot cause i aint the kind of person who likes 2 blame refrees for the match result even though we all saw the match n saw what kind of a ref we had out there 2night n that he played a big role in 2night's game result.
Finally i'd like 2 congratulate Zamalek fans n wish them luck on the comin last fixture that is their last chance 2 reach the Semi's n they really need luck in this one cause their chances are there yes but r very weak.
2day Zamalek really had a very good game in some difficult circumstances n durin the absence of many key players but yet managed 2 grab a well deserved point n that was thanx 2 the fightin spirit they showed 2night.
i must be fair n give Zamalek their share.
