Ahmed Magdy, the assistant coach of Zamalek’s first football team, affirmed that the coaching staff gleaned valuable insights from playing two friendly matches against the club’s youth teams, the 2003 and 2005 generations, during the current international break.
Speaking to Zamalek’s official website, Magdy stated that today’s encounters against the youth teams were instrumental in assessing all players, under the observation of head coach Jose Gomez.
Magdy emphasized the coaching staff’s intention to observe all players closely on the field, noting the high level of technical performance displayed during the matches.
He underscored that Gomez’s objective was to evaluate the performance of the youth teams’ players, clarifying that the primary aim of these matches was to provide valuable experience rather than focusing solely on the outcome.
As Zamalek continues its preparations, the team gears up to face Ismaily on February 19th, marking the thirteenth round of fixtures in the Premier League competition.
The friendly encounters against the youth sides not only served as an opportunity for assessment but also highlighted the club’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a cohesive footballing ethos across all age groups.
Such initiatives demonstrate Zamalek’s holistic approach to player development and strategic planning, ensuring a robust pipeline of talent to bolster the first team’s performance in domestic and continental competitions.
With the coaching staff’s meticulous attention to detail and the players’ commitment to excellence, Zamalek aims to maintain its competitive edge as it navigates the challenges of the upcoming fixtures in the Premier League and beyond.
