Al-Ahly vow to keep Egyptian league title
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 28 - 03 - 2010

Al-Ahly have promised their fans that they will win the Egyptian Premier League title again this season on Monday, they host Petrojet in the league.
The Red Devils put on well in training on Saturday. All eyes were on Mohamed Abou Treika, who performed brilliantly against Enppi on Thursday, scoring two goals. However, Enppi should have won, as they had two completely valid goals disallowed.
They accused referee Samir Othman of being biased towards the titleholders by disallowing the two strikes, but Othman blamed the linesmen, saying they tricked him. The Red Devils will also use Mohamed Barakat and Ahmed Hassan on Monday. They top the league with 49 points.
Ahly's goalie Ahmed Adel will also play, as Sherif Ekrami has been ruled out due to a groin problem. Adel was Ahly's first-choice guardian in the first half of the season, but the 22-year-older has been playing second fiddle ever since Ekrami arrived on the scene in the winter.
Ekrami will probably be sidelined for another two weeks. As well as using Abou Treika, Barakat, Hassan and Adel, Ahly's coach Hossam el-Badri will choose from Ramzi Saleh, Ahmed Fathi, Ahmed el-Sayyed, Wael Gomaa, Mohamed Samir, Ayman Ashraf, Hossam Ashour, Mostafa Shebeita, Abdullah Farouq, Shehab Ahmed, Ahmed Shokri, Moustafa Mahmoud 'Afrotto', Emad Met'eb, Osama Hosni, Mohamed Fadl, Ahmed Belal, Francis Doe and Hani el-Egeizi.
Petrojet, meanwhile, are seeking to compensate for their dramatic 4-1 loss to Harras Al-Hodoud last week. Petrojet have 38 points. Their coach Mokhtar Mokhtar will use Ahmed Fawzi, Hesham el-Noubi, Amr Hassan, Osama Mohamed, Hassan Kondi, Harim Zekri, Ahmed Shaaban, Mohamed Shaaban, Mahmoud Abdel-Hakim, Farag Shalabi and Mahmoud Semna. Also in the league, Ghazl El-Mahalla host Zamalek on Monday in the Nile Delta city of el-Mahalla.
Zamalek, who have moved up to the second place under Hossam Hassan, are also eyeing the title. Hassan said that Ibrahim Ayew might play his first game with Zamalek since the African Cup of Nations (ACN) after being included in their squad for on Monday's clash. The out-of-favour Ghanaian midfielder has been snubbed by Hassan since helping his country finish runners-up to champions Egypt in January's ACN finals in Angola.
Zamalek will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 13 games at the expense of Mahalla, who usually prove to be stubborn opponents for the White Knights. Their last two meetings ended in victories for El-Mahalla, who lie in the 12th in the league on 27 points, just three points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Ismaili meet Military Production on Monday in Cairo. The Canal-based club Ismaili want to compensate their fans, as they were beaten 2-1 by Gouna last week. Ismaili lie in the fourth place with 37 points against 34 points to Military Production. Ismaili's Essam el-Hadari will be playing.
