The technical and moral condition of the four Egyptian participating teams in the Egyptian Super Cup, hosted in the UAE starting tomorrow and running until November 9th, varies significantly. The Egyptian and Arab football public awaits the tournament with great anticipation. At the 'White Fortress' training camp in Abu Dhabi, Al-Zamalek decided to reinforce its coaching staff with two foreign elements: a performance analyst and a goalkeeping coach, who appeared with the team for the first time during training yesterday. The medical team is working to get Brazilian striker Juan Bizeray ready for the match against Pyramids scheduled for tomorrow. Although medical indicators suggest the player will be out of contention for the first match, there is a possibility he could be prepared for the second game, whether it's for the title or to determine the third and fourth positions. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli has put an end to the debate surrounding the future of its coach, the Dane Yasser Sorup, following reports of the club's management's intention to dismiss him in case of failure. A responsible source within the club confirmed to 'Emirates Today' that there is no intention to make any changes to the coaching staff at this time, regardless of the tournament's outcome. Saeed Abdel-Hafeez, the acting head of the football department and a board member, arrived in Abu Dhabi and held a meeting with the players upon his arrival. He demanded that they win the tournament to reconcile with the fans after a series of disappointing results that have distanced the team from the top of the local league. He also noted the administration's intention to release the frozen bonuses following the recent draw with Al-Masry, provided they win the Super Cup. As for Ceramica Cleopatra, the club has set aside large financial bonuses to motivate its players before tomorrow's match against Al-Ahli at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain. This step aims to boost the team's morale and encourage them to deliver a strong performance against the defending champion. In turn, Pyramids enters the tournament in a state of technical and medical stability, as their squad is now free from the injuries that sidelined several players in previous matches, most notably Mostafa Fathi and Weston Nyirenda. However, Ramadan Sobhi will continue to be absent due to a hamstring strain, though the medical staff remains hopeful he can be ready for the next match.
