CAIRO: Zamalek captain Ayman Abdel-Aziz turned his attention to the Egyptian Super Cup after his side s defeat to Ahly in the CAF Champions League group stage opener.
Abdel-Aziz is hopeful that the team could make up for the defeat when they face the Reds again next week, as he insists that the team s chances in the African competition are not over.
Yesterday s defeat can be recovered, I think there is still way to go in the African competition, he told the club s official site.
But the Super Cup game is special; it means that we could add silverware to our club.
The former Trabzonspor midfielder is satisfied with his team s performance as he urged fans to be easy on the players.
I think we played a great game but were unlucky, supporters should be patient because every player did his best, he added.
Meanwhile, Zamalek announced that Wigan-bound striker Amr Zaki will be available in the Super Cup game before joining the Premiership side on loan.
The Whites will miss Ahmed Ghanem and goal-scorer Gamal Hamza, who were cautioned on Sunday, in addition to the domestically-banned Mohamed Aboul-Ella.
