Zamalek's Egyptian coach, French Patrice Carteron, once again proved his "high heel" over his former club Al-Ahly, after he outdid him for the second time, the day before yesterday, with a score of 3-1 in the 21st round of the Egyptian Football League, confirming his competence to lead his team in the Super Cup title from Al-Ahly also, in the match that Abu Dhabi hosted last February.
Carteron had previously assumed the duties of the technical department at Al-Ahly, before leaving after Esperance de Tunis drove him out of the narrow door of the African Champions League, following a heavy 3-goal loss in the 2018 African Champions League final, and when he moved to Zamalek, he knew how to technically manage the White Castle, And he responded to Al-Ahly by demonstrating his tactical capabilities.
The French coach was able to read the game the day before yesterday well, and was able to play on the mistakes made by Al-Ahly coach, Rene Fyler, regarding the way of playing and the lineup that did not help Al-Ahly come out with the result that was expected from him, to avenge the loss of the Super title.
"Emirates Today" reviews seven reasons that led Zamalek to win the historic triple, as follows:
1- Failer's errors
Al-Ahly coach committed fatal technical errors, especially in the first half, when he played without a right wing, relying on the moves of Muhammad Majdi (Qafsha) on that side with Muhammad Hani, so Al-Ahly lost an important offensive axis to reach goalkeeper Mohammed Abu Jabal, and there were no changes. The coach was influential in the second half, so he took out "Qafsha" at his best, and neither Gerardo nor Marwan Mohsen made the difference for the red-dressed.
2- Zamalek foreigners
Zamalek foreigners played an important role in winning the match, thanks to the team they showed, especially Moroccan duo Ashraf Bin Sharqi and Onajem, who made the first and third goals very cleverly, unlike Al-Ahly's foreigners who were out of service, which forced Fyler to replace the duo Aliou Dieng Junior Agay Between the two halves of the match, Ali Maaloul appeared far below his performance level in all of his previous matches.
3- Lines spacing
Al-Ahly's performance was not tactically disciplined, despite the numbers of possession that came in his favor over the course of the match, as it was evident that the three lines were clearly separated for Al-Ahly team, although Fyler played with three players in the middle of the stadium, however, the counterattacks by Zamalek were very dangerous. Because of the lack of coverage during the advance of the backs, Ali Maaloul and Muhammad Hani, which was invested by his opponent in the first and third goals.
4- Defenders shine
The Zamalek defense played the most prominent role in the great victory over Al-Ahly, and the four-man stood: Hazem Imam, Mahmoud Alaa, Reda Al-Wansh and Muhammad Abdel Shafi, and behind them goalkeeper Muhammad Abu Jabal, a strong block against the attempts made by Al-Ahly to score, in contrast to the Red Defense, which appeared in its worst condition Especially Yasser Ibrahim, who made a naive mistake in dealing with the goal scored by Mustafa Muhammad due to poor supervision.
5- Nervousness of players
Al-Ahly players were clearly mentally and psychologically ill prepared for the Zamalek match, and this was clearly evident when five players received the yellow card: Mohamed Hani, Aliyu Diang, Hamdi Fathy, Amr Al-Soulia, and Ayman Ashraf, while Zamalek got two yellow cards that were the share of Mustafa Muhammad And Osama Faisal.
6- The sympathy of the Qaem
The post's sympathy with Zamalek on two occasions that could have changed the outcome, especially the header shot by Senegalese Aliou Badge early in the match, which would have put Al-Ahly in the lead, and the post came back to deny the Red Devils an equalizer from Mohamed Magdi's shot ( Qafsha), while Zamalek was successful in his chances in front of Mohamed El-Shennawi's goal, and he used them in a positive way.
7- Whistle errors
Zamalek benefited from some of the mistakes made by the referee of the match, Ivan Bebek, who did not count a penalty that was unanimously agreed by analysts in television studios, because Walid Suleiman was obstructed by defender Mahmoud Alaa, and the referee did not announce the red card for the Zamalek striker, Osama Faisal, as a result of the intervention Violent against Al-Ahly player Ayman Ashraf.
• Carteron read the match intelligently, and played on the mistakes made by Al-Ahly coach Fyler.
