Zamalek coach Helmi Toulan
This is still a very difficult game because we are playing against the Dark Horse of the competition.
But the players are ready and everyone is eager to bring a trophy for Zamalek and get us back on the podium.
Degla coach Hany Ramzy
Zamalek have been without a trophy for a long time and they surely have their motives to win this title.
But we are also motivated because we want to claim our first-ever trophy. Cup matches always bring surprises and we hope to make one.
