Ismaili board member Khaled Farw blamed the Dervishes' 1-0 defeat to Gaish on head coach Ricardo Ferreira. Farw said the Brazilian tactician insisted not to play several key players in the Egyptian Premier League game, such as defender Sherif Abdul-Fadil. Ismaili could have advanced to second place had they won, as Petrojet, who are still second, lost on Tuesday to Olympic. "Ricardo made a multitude of blunders. He ignored several regulars and his substitutions were far from suitable," Farw told FilGoal.com after the game. "The board have to put an end to his attitude. We are leaking precious points, and our league campaign will be doomed to failure if he didn't change his approach. "We need to redeem ourselves ahead of the upcoming games." The Gaish loss leaves Ismaili fourth in the table with 32 points.
