Athletes confirmed that it is too early to evaluate the work that the Spanish coach, Gerard Zaragoza, is doing with Al-Ahly youth, noting that the team has made good performances so far in the Arab Gulf League, explaining that it is not logical to consider Zaragoza as an unsuccessful coach with the team, after he wasted four Points in the first three rounds of the competition, with beating Ittihad Kalba, and a draw with Al Ain and Al Wehda.

They told Emirates Today: “Zaragoza needs to be more assertive with the players,” explaining that “the young coach must deal boldly with the stars of the team,” while stressing that the main problem in the team lies in the waste of a large number of easy opportunities. During all matches, what contributed to the loss of four points, and the same thing in the AFC Champions League competition, which caused the team to exit from the Round of 16.

For his part, Antar Marzouq, the deputy technical supervisor of the Football Academy at Al-Ahly Youth Club, said: “Al-Ahly youth have performed well in the AFC Champions League and the first three rounds in the league, despite the exit from the continental championship and wasting four points in the first three rounds of the league. .

He added: “I can define the problem of Shabab Al-Ahly in two points. The first is to solve the problem that the team’s offensive line suffers, especially since the first three rounds saw players wasting many easy opportunities, and the second point is that the Spanish coach must change his approach to dealing with players. , And to be more assertive and serious, and not look at the convergence of age between him and the players, or that he deals with a large number of stars.

In turn, sports analyst Muhammad Matar Gharab confirmed that the clubs competing for the titles need a different quality of coaches, so I think that Zaragoza should be more convincing of his personality and strength in relation to Shabab Al-Ahly players.

He continued, "The issue of hiring a young coach, who does not have a strong CV, goes back to the club's management, which bet on the feedback he provided with the under-21 team, and there is no doubt that all means of success must be provided, so that the coach achieves the desired results."

He pointed out that the team’s stumbling in a two-match draw should not be borne by the coach alone, and that any problem faced by the team be solved, and an environment conducive to success should be provided, which are all important factors that affect the team’s results.

On the other hand, former Al-Jazira and Al Wasl player, Youssef Abdel Aziz, said that it is not necessary to judge early on the performance of Shabab Al-Ahly coach, explaining: “I see that the choice of the club's management for the Spanish coach Zaragoza came according to the work he did with the under-21 team, and certainly with the management. A point of view that must be respected ».

He added: “The coach must be patient and give him a full opportunity, especially since I see that he is an excellent coach, and he has a good idea. It should not be overlooked that the match schedule contributed to Shabab Al-Ahly playing two heavy-caliber matches in front of Al Ain and Al-Wehda, and this type of matches needs parts. Small to win it ».
