Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez expressed his dissatisfaction with his Al-Ahly team missing out on winning a match he considered “easy” once morest Damak, when he gave up a 2-0 lead in the first half, so the hosts tied 2-2 in stoppage time in the Saudi Professional Football League, yesterday (Thursday). ).
Mahrez (32 years old) scored both of Al-Ahly’s goals in the first half, and it seemed that German coach Matthias Jaissel’s team was on its way to victory and leveling with Al-Nasr, which is in second place.
But Al-Ahly retreated in the second half, allowing Damak to apply pressure and score two late goals. What prompted the former Manchester City player to criticize his team.
Sadness was evident on Mahrez (Ali Khamaj)
Mahrez said in television statements: “We started well and controlled an easy match, and then we gave them the opportunity to come back in the second half, and this is shameful.”
The Algerian captain, who contributed to 12 goals in 13 matches in the Saudi League, added: “We must learn from that, because the matter was repeated several times. This is shameful because we deserved to win 3-0 or 4-0, but we were a little complacent in the second half and allowed them to win 3-0 or 4-0.” In a draw. It’s hard to accept. “It’s frustrating.”
Pressure has accumulated on coach Yasla due to the instability of the results of the team returning to the professional league this season, which was eliminated early from the Saudi King’s Cup by Abha in the round of 16 despite the inclusion of distinguished players, such as Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, Allan Saint-Maximin and Gabri Biega.
Al-Ahly currently occupies third place, but is threatened with decline following the completion of round 13 before the international break, and is 6 points away from the leader (Al-Hilal), which faces fourth-placed Al-Taawoun later today.
