The Swiss coach Prepares Al Ahly for Key Semifinal Clash Against Pachuca

Before Al Ahli heads to Stadium 974 in Doha for their highly-anticipated 2024 Intercontinental Cup semi-final against Mexico's Pachuca, Swiss coach Marcel Koller plans to talk to his team. The team that wins the game, which is set for Saturday at 8pm local time, will play against Real Madrid in the final.

Ahead of the match, Koller will motivate his players with a final pep talk to ensure they are fully prepared for the challenge. The team completed their last training session on Friday, with the initial part open to the media, before closing the session for privacy.

Al Ahly is feeling confident as they prepare for the match, wanting very much to win and make it to the final. The team has been working hard on getting stronger and improving their game plan for this important game.The goalkeeping coach, Michel Yancon, has been training with Mohamed El-Shenawy, Hamza Allawi, and Mustafa Makhlouf. El-Shenawy is likely to be the starting goalkeeper since Mustafa Shobier is hurt.

Pachuca, who just beat Botafogo 3-0 in the quarterfinals, might have some trouble with their energy because they had to play again very soon after their last match. But both teams really want to win and get to the final, which will happen at Lusail Stadium on December 18.
