Zamalek coach seeks fans support in Africa league
Vieira comments over the team's heavy schedule and the delay of Gazelle FC friendly

Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 11 - 02 - 2013

Zamalek Brazilian manager Jorvan Vieira is pleased that the club got the approval on delaying their friendly against Gazelle FC of Chad for 24 hours to be held on 17 February.
“The Egyptian Premier League heavy schedule is the reason why we asked to postpone the match in order not to exhaust our players,” Vieira was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
Vieira took charge of Zamalek for the first time this season after returning from the United Arab Emirates, where he stayed longer than scheduled during the Egyptian league's lengthy suspension, fuelling reports that he would depart.
“We are hoping that we can continue our domestic success and gain the fans support in the Africa Champions League competition,” the 59-year-old added.
Zamalek, who failed to bring home a trophy since 2004's Premier League, are currently top Group B with a maximum six points from two games, Ittihad of Alexandria and Ittihad El-Shorta.
In a new two-group format, the winners of the two groups will advance to play a mini-league, with only home fixtures to determine the champion. The competition is being played behind closed doors at military-owned stadiums due to security concerns.
