José Gomez promises to treat Black Bulls with same respect as Barcelona or Real Madrid

Zamalek SC head coach José Gomez has vowed to approach his team’s upcoming CAF Cup opener against the Black Bulls of Mozambique with the same intensity and focus as if they were facing top European clubs like Real Madrid or FC Barcelona.

The Egyptian giants kick off their Group D campaign tomorrow, determined to put recent setbacks behind them.

Zamalek’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Al Masry in the league has left Gomez seeking to instill a sharper, more vigilant mindset in his players ahead of the crucial fixture.

Reflecting on his previous misstep, the Portuguese manager has stressed the importance of not underestimating any opponent, regardless of stature.

In a pre-match press conference, Gomez made his stance clear, promising that his team would not take the Black Bulls lightly.

I will face the Black Bulls as if they were Real Madrid or FC Barcelona,” he stated, signaling his commitment to treating every opponent with the utmost respect.

Zamalek’s supporters are eager for a strong start in the CAF Cup group stages, and Gomez’s words indicate his intention to foster a competitive and determined atmosphere for the match.

With the first three points in Group D up for grabs, the encounter at Cairo International Stadium, scheduled for 19:00 GMT, is expected to be a thrilling contest.

As Zamalek aims to bounce back from their recent defeat, all eyes will be on Gomez and his players to see if they can begin their CAF Cup campaign with a commanding performance.

The outcome of tomorrow’s match could set the tone for what promises to be a high-stakes group stage.
