Musimani ignites the anger of the Egyptians.. Poor formation and ugly face of Ahlawy
South African coach Petso Mosimane made wholesale mistakes that led to Al-Ahly losing the African Champions League title against Moroccan Wydad Casablanca by two clean goals in the final match, today, Monday, at Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, most notably the starting lineup that entered the match and met with outrage from the Al-Ahly fans. In addition to the exaggerated defensive method that enabled Wydad to score.
The starting line
-up Musimani pushed with an unconvincing squad for Al-Ahly that lacked the playmaker in the middle of the field, after the star Mohammed Magdy Qafsha kept on the bench, and it became clear the impact of the absence of Amr Al-Sulayya, who is considered one of the most important players who are good at building playing in the midfield and increasing the attack in the axis area.
An unsuccessful start, the
coach made an exaggerated defensive start, which enabled Wydad players to push forward through Ayoub Al-Amoud and Zuhair Al-Matraji, who took advantage of the vacant spaces in Al-Ahly Stadium and threatened goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy to pay from outside the area until Al-Mutarji managed to shake Al-Ahly's net.
Amendment, but..
Musimani tried to amend reality and correct his mistakes too late, as he had received the second goal that had a shocking impact in the 48th minute, and two minutes later he met the demands of the youngest fan following the team by involving Qafsha and striker Mohamed Sharif and directed Ahmed Abdelkader and Hussein Al-Shahat to play with two heads But to no avail, especially since Moroccan coach Walid Rekraki knew how to deal with the events by controlling the rhythm of the game.
A team without fangs
Al-Ahly played the match, losing its offensive identity and was unable to create chances or pose the slightest threat to Wydad goalkeeper Ahmed Al-Taknaouti, which revealed an unusual attacking sterility for Al-Ahly.
Al-Ahly continued its poor performance to show a meek pregnancy, despite Musimani's search for additional solutions that did not coincide with the size of the mistake he committed, as he involved Al-Sulayya and Salah Mohsen lately and surprisingly changed tactics.
Al-Ahly, in the last quarter of an hour
, Musimani made a new serious mistake by changing the players’ positions in a very strange way, especially since when Muhammad Hani was removed, Taher Muhammad Taher returned to the right-back position, which he occupied for the first time, which made the Al-Ahly players lose the ability to absorb Musimani’s thought.
3 Late chances
. Al-Ahly's substitute players responded to Musimani in the second half and assured their coach his fatal mistake by keeping them on the bench. Mohamed Sharif almost scored from following a cross, while he shot a jump from outside the area, which the goalkeeper guaranteed, and a third from Salah Mohsen did not succeed.
