Mohamed Shawky: I don't care if Zamalek is in second or third place... my goal is to prepare the players of ZED.

Mohamed Shawky: We aim to prepare players for upcoming matches

Shawky said after the match at the press conference: "The primary goal is to prepare the players, especially since I am getting ready for competitions in the league and the African tournament, and I haven't played official matches for a while."

He added: "I had hoped to make more substitutions, and although Zamalek fielded their second, third, or fourth team, that doesn't concern me as much as my focus on preparing the players."

The ZED FC coach concluded his statements by saying: "It was important to involve as many players as possible to physically prepare them for the upcoming matches."
