Ahly president Mahmoud El-Khatib has demanded answers on what went wrong‚ and that the team rise up in the second leg at Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria on Saturday.
Reports are that 30‚000 will be allowed‚ but Downs will know from past experience to expect many more on Saturday.
On that occasion 40‚000 fans were supposed to be let in‚ but the actual number appeared closer to at least 60‚000. He admitted a meeting with Ahly president El-Khatib. Uruguayan Lasarte played this down‚ saying the meeting was more one of support and finding solutions to what has been viewed as a crisis at the Cairo club following their heaviest ever defeat in African club competition.
“I promise that every player in the team will give his best and I will do everything I can to compensate for the harsh result of the previous match.
