The name of Zamalek\u2019s head coach or the date of the match has not been revealed.<\/p>\n
Algerian club USM Alger secured an important 1-0 victory over Egyptian side Zamalek in the match held at their home stadium in the final moments of the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final.<\/p>\n
This puts Zamalek under significant pressure, as they are now required to win by a two-goal margin in the second leg, which will take place on Saturday evening next week, in order to secure the title on their home ground and in front of their fans.<\/p>\n
With the pressure on Zamalek increasing ahead of the return leg, saving the dream of winning the Confederation Cup requires some urgent decisions, which we review in the following lines:<\/p>\n
Excluding defender Hossam Abdel-Meguid<\/p>\n
The first decision that the Zamalek technical staff, led by \u201cMotaabed Gamal,\u201d should take is to exclude defender \u201cHossam Abdel-Meguid\u201d from the lineup in the return match.<\/p>\n
Defender \u201cHossam Abdel-Meguid\u201d committed a costly mistake in the final moments of the first-leg match against USM Alger, as his error led to a penalty being awarded against Zamalek, from which the home team scored the winning goal.<\/p>\n
Given the repeated mistakes of defender \u201cHossam Abdel-Meguid,\u201d it appears that Zamalek will be forced to field a new defender to ensure greater defensive stability in the return encounter.<\/p>\n
