Ahly Boss Unhappy With Latest Display, 'Ponders' Tau & Maaloul Return

Marcel Koller is reportedly thinking about bringing Percy Tau and Ali Maaloul back into his team after what he claimed was a poor showing.

Al Ahly manager Marcel Koller is reportedly considering reintegrating Percy Tau and Ali Maaloul to the starting XI after he was unhappy with his side's most recent league performance.While the Tunisian left-back played the entirety of both matches against Simba in the CAF Champions League quarter-finals recently, Tau was hooked in the 67th minute of the first leg and did not play any part in the second.

In their most recent league match against ENPPI, however, neither player was included in the matchday squad as they are believed to be nursing muscular injuries, but with the Cairo derby looming, Koller is said to feel their next game, against ZED, would be the perfect time to bring them back into the squad so they are prepared to face Zamalek.

The FIFA Club World Cup bronze medallist coach was particularly unimpressed with the Red Devils' latest league outing, claiming that his players did not follow any of his instructions in their 2-2 draw. "The first half was slow and there were a lot of wrong passes, but the situation improved in the second half and we posed a threat to ENPPI's goal, but because of our haste we conceded the equaliser," the 63-year-old told reporters, as per"I was surprised by the players who were rushing to transfer the ball and moving forward in a rush. This contradicted my instructions to keep the ball and calm the game, and from a corner kick we conceded the second goal unnecessarily.
