The Al Ahly football team enters a closed training camp today, Friday, in preparation for the upcoming Cairo Derby against Zamalek, scheduled for 8 PM on Sunday at Cairo International Stadium, as part of the sixth round of the Premier League.
The coaching staff, led by Hussein Ammouta, decided to hold the camp 48 hours before the match to maintain the players' focus and shield them from any external pressures that could affect their mental or physical preparations for this crucial encounter. During the camp, the coaching staff aims to create a calm and organized environment for the players, while implementing a training program tailored to the nature of the match, focusing on the technical and tactical aspects the team plans to rely on against Zamalek.
Ammouta aims to use the camp period to address some mistakes that appeared in previous matches, explain the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent, and emphasize the importance of adhering to instructions and playing with team spirit. The technical lectures will review players' movements in defensive and attacking situations, especially during set pieces and quick counterattacks, as these are critical elements in derby matches.
