Zamalek assistant coach Mohamed Helmi praised the team's performance, following the 1-0 victory over Harras Al-Hodoud on Monday. The Whites had a bumpy league campaign this season, but they managed to grab five victories out of five in recent weeks. "I think we are in good shape, the players have gone through some difficult circumstances," Helmi said after the game. "The performance against Harras was fine, we declined a little bit in the second half, but that is normal due to fatigue. "We have been playing a match every three says during the past couple of months." Zamalek were missing a host of key players due to injuries, as defense men Beshir Al-Tabie and Mahmoud Fathallah missed out. However, Helmi was satisfied with the display of stand-in duo Karim Zekri and Ahmed Hossam. "Zekri has been terrific, he was our man of the match, Hossam also played a good game." Zamalek will start preparations for Angola's Inter Clube in the Champions League last 16 phase next Saturday.
