Al Ahly Faces Ahli Benghazi
The first football team of Al Ahly SC is preparing for a friendly match against Libyan club Ahli Benghazi today, Thursday, as part of the Libyan team's training camp currently taking place in Egypt. This match is part of head coach Hussein Ammouta's plan to prepare the substitute players ahead of the match against Abou Qir Fertilizers.
The coaching staff of Al Ahly aims to provide players who did not participate significantly in the match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab with a similar physical load to that of the starting players, in order to maintain their physical and technical readiness.
Ammouta's Strategy for Preparing Al Ahly's Substitutes
This match comes as part of the coaching staff's strategy, which relies on playing a friendly match after every official match, with the goal of keeping all team members ready and giving substitutes the opportunity to participate and gain the necessary physical load.
Al Ahly had played its last match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab before the coaching staff decided to face Ahli Benghazi in a friendly to benefit from players who did not participate or who received few minutes during the official match.
Ahli Benghazi concludes its training camp in Cairo with the match against Al Ahly, as part of its preparations for the new season, while Al Ahly takes advantage of the encounter to prepare its players for upcoming matches.
