Al-Ahly players reconciled their fans after a frustrating start at the opening game of the season against Ismaily that ended with a 1-1 draw.

Al-Ahly winger, Mido Gaber, had a great night against Al-Masry and dominated the left flank; the player revealed after the victory that he is doing everything to establish himself at the starting line-up.

“I am happy with the manager’s trust and I train very hard to be ready to help the team during the games,” Gaber said.



Al-Ahly players are preparing for their first game at the Arab Club Champions Cup round of 32 first leg against Lebanon’s Nejmeh on Monday.
