Zamalek coach Mohamed Helmi hailed his squad following Sunday's 4-1 home victory over Nigeria's Enugu Rangers in the first leg of the CAF Champions League round of 32, but warned them to stay vigilant for the away match.
"Victory is just a step towards qualification, which will require effort and focus in Nigeria," Helmi said through the club's official website after the game.
The five-time Champions, who will visit the Nigerian league holders for the return leg on Sunday, gave an outstanding performance, winning the praise of critics and fans.
"Zamalek played a great game. I deeply thank the players for the great show," football director Ismail Youssef said after the game at Cairo's El-Salam Stadium.
The team are in training Monday to prepare for the weekend. They fly to the West African country on Thursday.
