Assem Salah has praised the impact of head coach Ayman Al-Ramadi following Al Ahly Bank’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Haras El Hodoud in the Egyptian Premier League, highlighting both tactical discipline and psychological support within the squad.
Speaking after the match in a television interview, Salah said the scoreline reflected a performance built on control and organisation, rather than chance.
“Those who didn’t watch the match will say that the game was over and over, but we controlled the match from the beginning, and Ayman Al-Ramadi is one of the few coaches who make the players memorize their roles on the field.”
Structured approach delivers convincing performance
Salah emphasised that the team’s dominance stemmed from clarity in roles and effective execution of instructions, noting that each player understood their responsibilities throughout the game.
“Every player knows the role required of him. We have played great matches during the past period, and we played an enjoyable match against Haras El Hodoud, and all the goals were well-played.”
The coach credited the players for their commitment and discipline, suggesting that their adherence to tactical instructions was key to securing a comprehensive victory.
“The players carried out the coach’s instructions, and I thank them for their will, spirit, and performance in today’s match, and for carrying out Ayman Al-Ramadi’s instructions.”
Recognition for club support
Salah also acknowledged the role of the club’s leadership in maintaining stability and progress during recent matches.
“We thank the National Bank’s management for the support they provide to the team, and all of Egypt has seen what the team has been doing during the past period.”
His comments reflect a broader sense of momentum within the club, following a series of positive performances in the league.
Psychological boost for Ahmed Reda
A key focus of Salah’s remarks was the development of Ahmed Reda, whom he described as a player with significant potential.
He revealed that Al-Ramadi played a crucial role in helping the player regain confidence after a period of limited involvement.
“Ahmed Reda has high potential, and when Ayman Al-Ramadi joined us, he sat with him and assured him that he was a great player and gave him confidence, and he treated him psychologically after a period of not participating, so he appeared at this current level.”
The intervention appears to have had a positive effect, with Reda now contributing more effectively to the team’s performances.
Expectations for emerging talents
Salah also looked ahead to the development of other players, including Amr El-Gazzar, expressing confidence in his future contributions.
“God willing, Amr El-Gazzar will shine with Al-Ahly, and after his participation he will make a difference, and when he plays he will not be left out of the lineup.”
Praise for Nasser Mansi’s finishing ability
The coach concluded by highlighting the qualities of Nasser Mansi, describing him as a clinical striker with a proven ability to convert difficult chances.
“Nasser Mansi is one of the players who knows the way to the goal. I played with him in more than one team, and he is a striker capable of scoring from half-chances. Any ball that seems difficult, he scores easily. He is a distinguished box striker.”
Confidence grows as Al Ahly Bank build momentum
The comprehensive win over Haras El Hodoud underlines Al Ahly Bank’s growing confidence and cohesion under Al-Ramadi’s leadership. With players responding to both tactical guidance and psychological support, the team appears to be developing a balanced approach that could sustain their progress in the league.
