“We recognise that the fans’ attendance numbers have decreased from one game to another,” Koller told the post game press conference, adding that he thought it was strange behaviour.
“We will participate in big and important competitions so we need the support of all Ahly fans,” the the 62-year-old Swiss tactician added.
Ahly's previous games in the Egyptian Premier League witnessed a small number of their fans attending in comparison with their arch-rivals Zamalek, whose fans have been present in large numbers to support their team.
“We need your support for the team and the players,” the Ahly coach said.
Ahly's second draw in nine matches on Sunday prevented them from extending their advantage, but they remain on top with 23 points, two ahead of defending champions Zamalek.
