Mokouina: Pyramids FC has the qualities of a champion, and players in the Egyptian league are looking to achieve their dream of professional football.
South African coach Rulani Mokwena expressed his deep appreciation for Pyramids FC, noting that working within the Pyramids structure gives any coach the opportunity to compete for titles, thanks to the necessary conditions and resources available for achieving success.
Mokwena: Pressure is an advantage and Pyramids has the best players in Africa
Mokwena confirmed in a press conference that Pyramids' classification as one of the big clubs is the result of continuous work since the club's establishment, explaining that the pressures associated with competing for titles represent an advantage that should be leveraged to achieve the desired results, while committing to improve performance daily.
The Pyramids coach pointed out that competitors possess strong levels, but his team has great confidence in its abilities, along with a group of outstanding players across Africa, emphasizing that the coaching staff is making every effort to support the players and enhance their performance.
Mokwena: Offensive and defensive transitions are the hallmark of the Egyptian league
Mokwena discussed the nature of competition in the Egyptian league, stating that the tournament is characterized by rapid transitions between attack and defense, which prompted the coaching staff to utilize the league's break to devise a plan for dealing with these situations, especially since the team has faced many instances requiring quick shifts between defense and attack.
Mokwena explains the differences between players in the Egyptian, Moroccan, and Algerian leagues
The Pyramids coach clarified that one of the differences between the Egyptian league and its Moroccan and Algerian counterparts lies in the nature of the players, noting that some Moroccan and Algerian clubs include players with dual nationalities who have gained experience in European academies, such as French academies, which gives them exceptional technical abilities.
Mokwena concluded his statements by pointing out that many of these players join the Moroccan and Algerian leagues at advanced stages of their football careers, while Egyptian players aspire to play abroad, which drives them to exert more effort to develop their skills and achieve their dream of playing in Europe.
