The coaching staff has focused heavily on correcting recent mistakes, aiming to ensure the team delivers a more disciplined and efficient performance against a strong and experienced opponent.

Focus on minimizing errors

Gamal has emphasized the importance of staying calm in front of goal and avoiding rushed decisions in the final third. He stressed that taking advantage of key chances could be the difference in such high-stakes knockout matches.

Players were also reminded to strictly follow tactical instructions while maintaining balance between defensive stability and attacking intent.

Speed and movement as key weapons
