Mortada Mansour, President of Zamalek Club, objected to the holding of the Egyptian Premier League summit match against Al-Ahly in the time that was specified for it, noting that the committee in charge of managing the Football Federation headed by Amr Al-Janayani had offended the Red Castle.
The Lithuanian referee Gediminas Massika announced after the legal period that Al-Ahly won the top match against Zamalek, which was postponed from the fourth round of the Egyptian Premier League on Monday evening, after Al-Abyad did not reach Cairo Stadium.
Mortada said, in television statements to “Al-Zamalek” channel on Tuesday morning: “We asked to postpone the summit game in the league for a long time because of my fear for our children in Al-Ahly and Zamalek before the African Champions League, but the Football Association insisted on rejecting it.”
He added: “The atmosphere was very charged after the events of the super game, I ended a great strife that would have occurred between the players waiting for each other in Al-Ahly and Zamalek, and I asked the Minister of Sports to hold a session with them in order to calm things down.”
He continued: “I do not know the cause of this war through the media from Imad Miteb, Ahmed Shoubir and Taha Ismail, Al-Ahly withdrew 5 times before against Zamalek, it is just a league game, and the start of the match was postponed for an hour due to bad weather conditions.”
He continued: “You were the ones who hurt the Al-Ahly club and made it a laughing stock for Egypt today. It was supposed that Amr Al-Janayani, President of the Football Association, postpone the game after the rains in abundance, especially since Amr Al-Janaini canceled 3 games in the second division.”
He continued: “The team was unable to reach Cairo Stadium, I did not run away (no movie), and I would have preferred to play the match because the morale of Zamalek is high and the players who were stopped in Zamalek are back up, unlike Al-Ahly, who lost its main players.”
He stressed: “Amr Al-Janaini said that he is the first person to punish Murtada Mansour, and I will be the first person to imprison you. I will leave him with the regulations. He deals with one of the best lawyers in the Arab world. I am not a student, every step I take is documented by sound and image.”
And the president of Zamalek concluded, saying: “Al-Ahly bus went in reverse, Mahmoud Al-Khatib (head of Al-Ahly) does not care for the safety of his players. I have no income. I fear for the safety of Zamalek players, and the study was also postponed. Do you want to fight God and people?”
