An endless series of controversial statements released by the Portuguese coach Jesvaldo Ferreira, coach of the Zamalek club, especially after the Juventus team lost the Super Egiziana title.
Zamalek lost the Egyptian Super Cup title (2021) to rival Al-Ahly, with a score of (2-0) in a match held at the “Hazza bin Zayed” stadium in the Emirate city of Al Ain.
Zamalek, after winning the Egyptian League and Egyptian Cup titles, coach Ferreira came out to raise controversy in 33 days, and this is what “Yalla Kora” will examine in the following lines:
Starting with Africa
On 25 September Ferreira opposed his team’s participation in the preliminary round of the African Champions League, in light of the white team’s victory in the Egyptian League title.
Ferreira said during the press conference: “I don’t understand how the Egyptian championship champion plays from the preliminary round, I will speak at the right moment.”
Zamalek began his continental campaign by facing Chad champion Elekt, winning him back and forth (4-0), then beating Burundian Flambo (6-1) with a total of two games back and forth, leading the champion of Egypt in the group stage version (2022).
– Objection to the ranking
Zamalek in the new season (2022-2023) started the campaign to defend his title against Smouha, so much so that the white team won (2-0) at the “Arab Contractors” stadium.
After the match, Ferreira sent a message, saying: “Why weren’t there complete dates until the end of the championship? It is illogical that the dates of the next matches are not known until the end of the championship.”
Ferreira’s statements punished him with a fine of 20 thousand pounds, so the Portuguese decided in the next match not to participate in the press conference after the end of the match of Ceramica Cleopatra, who reached the second round.
Zamalek is better than Al-Ahly
On the sidelines of the press conference for the Super Egypt match against Al-Ahly, Ferreira confirmed that his team is better than Al-Ahly.
The Zamalek manager added that his team is playing the match as they are crowned with the Egyptian League and Egyptian Cup titles.
He continued: “I didn’t follow what Al-Ahly did in the deals, Al-Ahly participated with the same players last season and Zamalek is stronger than Al-Ahly, but that has to be proven on the pitch.”
Al-Ahly’s second goal doesn’t count
Ferreira released a controversial statement after Al-Ahly’s match, after talking about Al-Ahly’s second goal, which came through Karim Fouad.
Ferreira said: “Al-Ahly scored his second goal while he was attacking Zamalek for the amendment, and we were only defending with a defensive pair, and we couldn’t come back, even though we have been better for long periods, and this is not right. I consider that this goal does not count “.
