Sami Komsan, Al Ahly’s football first-team assistant coach, spoke following the team’s 4-2 win over Al Masry SC in the Egyptian Premier League.

In his post-match interview, Komsan reflected on the previous phase of the season and talked about the condensed amount of games that the team played in a short period.

 “It’s impossible to maintain the same performance and physicality throughout the whole season with the number of games that we play.”

“I don’t look for excuses but this is the reality. We were overwhelmed with the number of games we played in a short period. We played a lot of games in March and April. Also, we were competing in the CAF Champions League.”

“You can’t win every competition you compete in. However, we try to do our best. Thank God, we were able to win various tournaments in the past like the CAF Champions League title.”

“We have three important competitions coming up in the next period. We still have to play in the Egyptian Cup, Egyptian Super Cup, and the CAF Super Cup.”

“Our fans are our biggest motivator. They’re great. They always stand next to us, in the bad times before the good.”
