Amir Mortada spoke in a lengthy conversation about 8 different points after Zamalek beat Al-Ahly in the summit meeting.
Zamalek defeated Al-Ahly by three goals to one in the 21st round of the Egyptian League competition.
Beat Al-Ahly:
Amir Mortada told Ontime Sports 2: “The victory over Al-Ahly has a special taste because it is the traditional competitor, and our competitor in that tournament and in Africa and the Super as well.”
He continued, “We did not succeed at the start of the league before the Corona suspension period and lost points that were within reach.”
The general supervisor of the ball in Zamalek added, “But in the end, the big teams do not play for one championship. We compete for more than one championship.”
Reasons for gain:
Speaking about the reasons for victory, he clarified “key matters such as the board of directors and providing everything we ask for.”
“We also drew two consecutive matches, and the club president told me that I would advise the players not to pay attention to and prepare for the African Championship, our biggest goal.”
He added, “We have a very good technical director with the team and he does his best, also players who have the team character. There are those with history and others who have ambitions.”
Amir Mortada revealed, “Finally, after all that, the fruits of this will be success.”
He stressed, “The Al-Ahly match was held, like any other match, with 3 points, such as the match between the Egyptian team. We respected our opponent and won.”
“The players got their dues a day after facing Egypt Club, and this indicates that there was no punishment for that.”
And about rewards for winning over Al-Ahly, he replied, “Certainly no, it is natural for Zamalek to win over Al-Ahly.”
Escape from the top of the first floor:
Regarding the reasons for the withdrawal at the top of the first round, he explained, “Zamalek cannot escape. Zamalek does not beat the team on 20 and escapes from it on the 24th.”
Amir stressed, “Until this moment, I see that the decision to return the league is wrong and it was starting to start from a new season even if we got the title at the end.”
“We did that in handball. There were only two games left and we got the league title, and we demanded that the season be canceled and another new start.”
He added, “The Hand Union retreated after that, but this is our opinion, and the state demanded the resumption of activity, not the 2019-2020 season, and I do not know the secret of insisting on that.”
Sassy and resolute crisis:
And about the fact that there is a crisis between Ferjani Sassi and Hazem Imam, he explained, “When we achieve good results, I have good words and when we go through a bad period, everyone points towards me and it is said that this is the one who says (close on the band).”
“Some people talk as if we live in a utopia, we are practicing a competitive sport,” he added.
He stressed, “There was no problem between Sassi and Hazem Imam, and the matter of competition in training takes place in all teams in the world, but some were dishonest and had special purposes to talk about that before the Al-Ahly match for special reasons.”
Amir revealed, “Perhaps there were crises before, and the media does not know about them until now, and sanctions or fines have been imposed.”
“What I did was I really locked in the team to focus on the match,” he continued.
Mustafa Mohammed:
With Mustafa Muhammad scoring a goal against Al-Ahly after an absence, Amir Mortada said: “We all accept criticism, but what Mustafa is exposed to is not the case.”
“When there is a former player with great experience now, he only talks about one player for 5 or 6 months, this is not a criticism,” he added.
Amir revealed, “I am against the criticism directed at Marwan Mohsen. He is a respected player in a respectable club who definitely wants to present the best, and you do not know what he is going through at the moment. Sport is an effort and attempts to achieve it.”
Amir Mortada stressed, “Some are upset about Mustafa Mohamed leaving the womb of the Zamalek club, but the funny thing is that he does not pay attention to that at all and does not follow his response always on the stadium.”
Abdel Shafi and Walid Suleiman:
Walid Suleiman, Al-Ahly player, visited Mohamed Abdel Shafi, the Zamalek player, in the hospital, after suffering a fractured collarbone in a joint ball between them.
On that, Amir said: “Abdel-Shafi is an exceptional case. He is a very respected player and receives the respect of everyone. We will definitely miss him for a period of 6 to 8 weeks.”
Regarding the visit of Walid Suleiman, he explained, “It is normal without tasting words. This is a player that you deliberately harmed or caused it, so it is logical to visit him.”
He stressed, “I wish we had a concern for the safety of each other, even if football was a game of friction.”
Amir added, “It is not normal for 5 or 6 players to be injured by one player throughout his history. There is no personal problem between me and Walid Suleiman. In the super crisis, Ahmed Mortada and I went to satisfy him without knowing what happened.”
Amir revealed, “Some people talk that Tariq Hamid is harmful. I remember only one player who suffered a severe injury because of his abuse.”
The general supervisor of the ball said, “Abdel Shafi did not accuse anyone, but the player must review himself because of the repetition of the matter from him in injuring others.”
Ramadan Sobhi:
Speaking about Ramadan Subhi, Amir said, “I do not know where I directed it, as I know it is on Huddersfield’s strength until now.”
He continued, “I repeat that if Zamalek wanted to include any player, he could do so, but we did not talk or negotiate with Ramadan.”
He revealed, “What we have done is that we have contacted his English club, informing them of what you want to dispense with the player only.”
He added, “What I know is that the Pyramids Club is continuing with this issue, but Zamalek stopped at the point of inquiry only.”
Essential renewal:
Finally, by talking about the delay in the renewal negotiations, Lassay explained, “There is no delay in the matter of renewing his contract.”
He continued, “Of course we have a desire and it is also because you can call him the son of the club and feel that Zamalek is his home.”
“He is a great and useful player for the team, and we are waiting for the current period, and we will talk with the player,” he concluded.
