😯 An Al Ahly legend has insisted that the club's emphatic 5-2 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League proved a turning point in the season for their new head coach. SLInt MORE:
According to Al Ahly legend Mohamed Youssef, the Red Devils' defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this season changed Marcel Koller's career in the Egyptian capital.
The Red Devils will travel to Casablanca for the second leg of the CAFCL final with a 2-1 advantage, but earlier this season, their chances of making it this far in the competition looked dire. "Marcel Koller, in his beginnings with Al Ahly, was focused on the offensive aspect only. Al Ahly were scoring many goals until the Sundowns match," the Egyptian tactician said, as per"The Sundowns match was a turning point in Koller's journey with Al Ahly, and any coach who plays against South African teams with an offensive style will lose.
"Wydad is a strong team with exceptional experience, and teams from north Africa, in particular, excel in playing against teams from the southern continent.
