“I am a striker and I am always looking to breakthrough the nets. I want to score against Ahli to help my teammates win the Cup and consulate our supporters,” said Ali to FilGoal.com.

The 33-year-old striker has scored a single goal in the Cup but had a major contribution in the league by netting 11 goals.

“Scoring against Ahli is something very special. I had already scored three goals in the Reds’ nets and I hope to increase my tally.”

Zamalek are seeking revenge especially after losing to Ahli 3-0 last year in the Cup final.
