“I’m worried about their fitness. I hope I could have had more time before the start of the season,” Basri told FilGoal.com

Ismaili were the most dominant side against Ahli, on Friday in the Super Cup match, but for just 60 minutes before losing crashing out.

The Dervishes didn’t prepare well their season because of financial and technical reasons.

Unfortunately Basri, who starts his mission with the team on Saturday, will have to deal with this fact as he’ll have to kick off the new season next Monday against Zamalek.
