Ah, of course, in palaces, and we recognize that throughout the championship in Al-Ahly matches, their stadium is well .. But in At the same time, the team following the group stage did very well.”
He added, “Congratulations to Wydad and its fans, and we hope that they represent Africa in an honorable way in the Club World Cup, but when I talk regarding Al-Ahly club, I do not see the technical value of Al-Ahly players and Wydad Al-Ahly players are not technically comparable to any team in Africa.”
