Victory passes at its best, and the difference between the points between us and Al-Ahly youth is only six points, and we still have direct confrontations with the leader and the runner-up, and therefore our chances of crowning are not far from mathematically, but on the ground I bet that victory will crown this season with the title, for several reasons, the most important of which The Serbian players and coach Kronoslav Gorsic joined hands, along with the dean's strengths that have become multiple.
I played for unity and victory What is the difference between the two clubs?
The coach played an important role in the results and performance of the victory, and this is not in doubt, and also there are other things that helped Kronoslav to succeed, among them the positive atmosphere within the club, the strong support provided by the management to the team in general, as well as the public support that appeared clearly in recent games, Especially in the Arab Gulf Cup final against Al-Ahly youth, in addition to the effort and devotion of the players on the pitch, in football, no team can succeed without the completion of the system.

The match was heavily charged before it started, and there was a lot of talk about it on social media and in the various media, but as players we dealt with the matter with great calm and focus, we did not care about any nominations, and we were setting a primary goal before us, which is to win the title. In such confrontations, the chances are 50% to 50%, and the team that can exploit the small details wins the title, and this is what we did specifically in front of Al-Ahly youth.
Kronoslav password of recent victories or do you see other reasons?
Of course not, but I am in the end a very lucky player, because I returned to victory in an ideal timing for me to rejoice with the team with a big championship, and in the end I am a professional player, and as my contract states, I must abide by its terms, but as for competition with Mahmoud Khamis, it is in the end for the sake of victory For those who strive and provide what is required of them.
The nominations were in the interest of Al Ahly youth ... How did you deal with the match?
There are no differences for me. I played for two of the country's largest clubs and benefited from their names a lot. The differences are only in the type of players and the coaches ’thought, but in the end football remains one game in all clubs.
