"Everything is bought." How did Turki Al-Sheikh lead the Egyptian football to madness?

We do not know where we can start, the whole story is like a rotten lettuce, and the problem of rotten lettuce is very deceptive, tempting the poor to buy it cheaply in the hope that they will find what is usable, but at the same time they are doubly frustrated if they do not find Something in the end, then it's like spending your money and time to go through a few layers of mold, just not.

Investment of colonialism

"What is done and done by Turki Al-Sheikh in Egypt is not an investment in any sense, and the reason is that, in the first place, - A truck understands the axioms on the way - the first investment condition is to guarantee a return that requires investment at all. We know that this may be surprising to many because it is a relatively new law, but it is the way things are done unfortunately.

More importantly - another truck in the way - that one of the main tributaries of this return in football is the masses, being the first source of funds in the game. This is a complicated procedural detail that only the specialists are aware of, so it is likely that they have missed the Egyptian Football Federation, the Ahly and Zamalek administrations, the Egyptian sports journalists, the fans of the ball and those interested in general. What is important is that if we collect the ticket prices for the matches and divide them into the number of clubs, then we add the popular constant for the equation and we put the number of cafe viewers with the error factor of لكل per thousand spectators. We will find that the average price of the ticket in Egypt is zero, because the masses do not attend the matches mainly for several years . (1)

For example, Arsenal is the world's most profitable club to earn more than 100 million pounds a year, even more than Real Madrid and Barcelona. To realize the ignorance of the Turki Al-Sheikh's description of the investor, you have to know that the man spent almost a quarter of that figure In support of Ahly and Zamalek in deals and coaches and others, and then at least twice that amount in Pyramids. If we imposed even a few players at a higher price than they spent to bring them, the return of all this at the end of the season - without profits - And that his new club will play all his matches back and forth In Cairo Stadium, and suddenly discover that 75 thousand fans can fill it in the last game, provided that the price of the ticket at least $ 14, or about 250 Egyptian pounds at the same time when the average income of the Egyptian to half that figure every day. (2) (3) (4) (5)

The only way to complete this is that Turki Al-Sheikh buys all these tickets and then opens the stadium for free, which brings us back to the square as you see. If this is an investment, the only person who can tell you the type is Mortada Mansour. All this, of course, has not yet touched on the questions that are usually raised on these occasions, such as whether this is the best model for investing in the Egyptian ball in the first place or not, and what exactly will come from doubling the prices of the players for no reason. Is to expand the area of ​​practice, for example, through new youth centers or amateur playgrounds that enable Egypt to benefit from the thousands of talents thrown on coffee shops aimlessly, but as we said these questions are not specialized in this field, in addition to the premise is very naive that the real goal is to invest really .

Love Love

This is the first part of the legend of the loving investor, the favorite myth of the larger sector of Egyptian Ahli fans, and the second part is no better off by virtue of the fact that we are talking about a man who financed Mahmoud al-Khatib in a difficult election in which he faced fierce competition from Mahmoud Taher, at least according to his personal claim Which did not remove any member of the management of Ahli officially, and in fact if there is a lie greater than the investment lure is a constant promotion because what the man did was motivated by love only, even if it came on his tongue personally. (7)

It is not complicated. If you are a club of the size of the Egyptian national team, any donations or foreign aid can be analyzed through two possibilities. The first is that the source of these donations is much larger than the Egyptian football system and the civil entity, Such as the donation of Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal to create a covered hall, for example. The second is simply the opposite, and the opposite is the closest to logic if the donor was a Saudi employee who was not a familiar figure before Mohammed bin Salman took power. (8)

The first is that the Khatib seemed "naïve" as described by observers so much so that he expected that the man who brought him to the presidency, or at least helped, would not wait for anything in return The second is the most realistic one; we are facing a traditional case of the Egyptian-Gulf historical conflict, which can be summed up in the famous popular duality: a civilization without money - money without civilization, which is still cohesive at the grassroots level despite its vulgarity and its violation of the reality of recent decades.

In short, Mahmud al-Khatib seems to have wanted a love without responsibilities. For his part, Turki Al-Sheikh Al-Tajdid will take over Fathi and Abdullah Al-Saeed and loan the latter and spend more than a quarter of a billion pounds in support of the club. For his part, Ahli will accept and accept his donations. "Interference in club affairs" is never acceptable. As it is said, "We are a civilization without money, but our honor is above all considerations."

Shame

Here you open the doors of hell, of course you know what they call the money without civilization in Egypt, and learn that the term hurt the man strongly on the personal level, and with all the right, to the extent that he mentioned in one of his official statements on the platforms of social networking, and then decided to take revenge on one One of the most layers of this story is "Impatient" at all.

The snowball started with Abdo Darbala, owner of the tire workshop, who became the dean of Pyramids fans once Turki Al-Sheikh decided to build it on the ruins of the wretched Assiuti. What is important is that the man received an official visit at his workshop where he got a screen and a PlayStation for his son. Suddenly he discovered that he loved Ahram very much, of course after his father said he was fed up with encouraging Zamalek and redirecting his membership to the fledgling investment experience. (9) (10)

Then the Al-Sheikh made his way from the bottom up under the titles of "Your Principles" and "This is our money and we are free." Before we realized that Mido was announcing the appearance of Luis Figo, John Terry and Ronaldinho at the Pyramids studio. It is true that we forgot to tell you that there was already a Pyramids studio, and that Mido joined the channel to encourage sports investment in Egypt, or rather to be a clearer and more vehement manifestation of what Turki Al-Sheikh wanted to prove after the Ahli experience; if his money was enough to entice some international celebrities to watch A whole match in the Egyptian league, and even an analysis of it, is certainly enough to prove that all Egyptians can change their principles as long as "the size of the screen and the PlayStation is enough." There is no difference between the owner of a workshop or a minor or several previous symbols belonging to the two largest clubs in Egypt The continent, and whether they come from their homes or From studios and one of the largest sports media institutions in the world, whether they need money or not. No one refuses more money as you learn, or this is what the man has proven at least. (11) (12) (13)

This was the first scene of insanity in the story, because all of the above, and as I expected, was in a state of bragging about the magical ability of Saudi money to buy the most opposed to the experiment, without any need for ambiguity or beauty, until the peak moment when Yasser Ayoub wrote his article about failure Pyramids the inevitable and the victory of the clubs of the people on the flood of money, etc., and two months later he was signing a contract with Pyramids as a media adviser to the club, as if Turki Al-Sheikh was making him an example of who is considered.

This is not Adel Imam's film, but the reality of the Egyptian ball as it is, and if one of his films to see the scene of the usual threat that forces the opposition to bow but did not happen. To the extent that one of them launched a joke that the easiest way to get the money of the Sheikh is to pretend to oppose him, or is not a joke exactly, the fact that we do not know because the wording of the news was very serious as if the second is an inevitable result of the first, even Adel Imam did not address the scene this surface His films. Please read:

"Said journalist Yasser Ayoub that the experience of Pyramids will not remain in competition for a long time, adding that the competition will remain among the traditional football forces in Egypt Pyramids announced through his official account on Twitter, the appointment of Yasser Ayoub supervisor of the media system of the club, , And a program on Pyramids. " (17) (18)

Happens only in Premier League

All of this was of course parallel to the desperate attempts of Al-Ahli and his administration, especially after the man was exposed to youth from the stands of Ahli once the dispute, and of course no more appropriate than Zamalek club, and the same scenario and details, and the larger of the funds and the greater of the gaps and vulgarity, All the usual administrative chaos that has become a tradition of Egyptian football will discover that removing all the moldy layers may take longer than we expected.

Zamalek coach Zamalek leads his current coach and a number of foreign professionals who happen to be his best players, and Murtada Mansour calls Turki Al-Sheikh to sell his club's jerseys inside Zamalek. The referee plays the usual balance game which only produces more chaos. Al Ahly's rankings are rather high, so there is one week in which they played games of 5 different rounds. Welcome to the Egibshan Premerligh.

Of course, the scene is not complete without the ever-renewed Gulf gifts. A Swiss watch, a gilded phone or expensive perfume, or perhaps a fancy box filled with all of the above, just like in 2008 and almost repeated after qualifying for the World Cup. What is important is that in this case the first (Swiss watches), as usual student Turki Al-Sheikh board of Ahli to return these gifts in another humiliating scene, to be formed a committee to prove that the hours are still in the cupboard and was not disposed of, as if this is the only problem in the matter. As we say, "civilization without money is true, but our honor above all considerations," unless the gift was Swiss hour of course! (14) (15)

At the same time, Ahli's administration was preparing for a historical transfer market after a completely unsuccessful one, in which Turki Al-Sheikh was able to deprive them of all their goals by using the famous dumping method. Khatib negotiates a player who will show the investor twice the number without any attempt at technical evaluation. But it all changed in the last winter, perhaps because the Turki Al-Sheikh refrigerator was full, or because they told him that each club has a maximum number of players to register, or for any other reason, it is important that it has nothing to do with logic , This is the only logical thing amid all this madness. (16)

I do preference

The surprise is that all this is not the most important thing that happened in this "bad story," originally in theory. It is not the first time that something similar has happened. In fact, it is nothing more than another round of the hidden Egyptian-Saudi cultural conflict. She took the ball from her yard this time, the only mass area that has not completely closed yet, at least outside the stadiums.

This time, the fans of the two clubs took advantage of the successive events; which started with the mantle of Al-Ahly fans to the rest of the clubs, considering that Turki Al-Sheikh is the beneficiary of his relationship with the club. The problem is not to disrupt equal opportunities or turn the Egyptian ball into a play, The Egyptians are not in the size of Ahli. If they had found another Gulf rich, then they suddenly discovered that Turki Al-Sheikh wants to play the role of the sponsor. This is unacceptable, of course, because the principles of Al-Ahly do not allow this, even if it allows him to intervene in an internal affair Such as elections to give preference to one candidate over another, or to use a nation A punishment for a player who wanted to leave for Zamalek, or send him thousands of messages on his page to demand new deals and specific trainers.

The next step expected was to transfer all this madness to the other bank of the Nile after the dispute, and to discover Zamalek fans suddenly that the investment is very wonderful sports, and that the word "Bawabin" hinted by Turki Al Sheikh in one of his statements is not insulting to this degree, Nationality after Traore's goal is not a big crisis, especially if Ferjani Sassi lives a period of brilliance in midfield, and if Gross leads them to the top of the league and the second title in five years, and of course both receive his salary from the same man who called them "gatekeepers" implicitly , As if the waste of the scene was lacking another racist tip.

The truth is that we are not looking for some balance in the actions of the two publics in order to avoid the wrath of any of them. We are not at all interested in comparing the degree of humiliation shown to the two clubs by the man to find out which was the most submissive, and even If this is clear and does not require a permit. This is a degree of impotence that we can not delve into, and even if we decide, we will not find descriptions allowed by liberal politics or public morals.

In Europe and developed countries

Do you know who "does not mind" going into it? Who is supposed to be the biggest victim of the story, who did not run the elections and did not get hours and Playstation and screens and perfumes and phones; the audience Ahli and Zamalek himself. In fact, he does not mind the most appropriate expression of the situation. You can say that he gradually became addicted to the situation since the Turkish solution to Egypt, until the moment when the masses became soaked in their ears, the moment that they mock each other because he turned his back on the Saudi sponsor , The moment in which they prove that whatever the desecration they used to launch on men, their preoccupation with the conflict made them inferior.

Try to tell any of them that the story does not deserve half the effort, and that everyone is losing whatever the result, and that successive man data became more important than the goals of their team, and that football matches themselves are no more than a justification for social networking parties after that, and if it was It takes place on the pitch to the degree of importance they call it, because what happens outside it has all this momentum, and that everything that happens in the virtual world is the result of the artistic, football and mass space in the real world.

the answer? A flood of ignorance and duplication, you will discover that the degree of belonging to Egypt and pride in your identity depends on your willingness to go into the layers of lettuce, but to eat and eat if required. What is important is that there is no voice above the voice of war, and the battle is still a circle to prove that what Ahli did not accept had been accepted by Zamalek or vice versa. All resources are exhaustive to prove that the degree of bending is not the same. The least worthy of the club, "the least surrendering, the least submissive, the least guarantee, the important thing is that it is not" something "worth fighting for.

A relative battle as you see because the only justification for its existence is the other party, and despite the relativeity they are based on absolute slogans such as "Zamalek beautiful without a sponsor" and "Ahli governs." After all that has happened, the Egyptian public still believes that there is a place for such expressions, and the problem of similar relative battles creates a parallel world that closes on its edges, and with time get used to its details and conflicts and take them so as not to imagine their lives without them. This explains the hysterical ferocity in defending His existence is even more ferocious than any of them in defending his cause, because the real goal is not really victory, victory means the end of the war, and that is the only thing worse than losing it.

So you hear the justifications that European fans are killing some for football, that corruption has reached the head of the International Federation of the game, that Paris is playing the rules of fair play, and that Manchester City also has a Gulf club, and that the referee did not count a penalty on Pique last week, Modric has won an award he does not deserve, and that the mendrens at the level of the Egyptian administrative, technical and public are no more than the heterosexual and anonymous people who did not take a real playground in their lives and do not know the characters about belonging, and that things are not much different from the lettuce.

schizophrenia

Try to drag the whole world into the mud rather than just get out of it. Come from England, France, Spain and Italy to convince yourself that what happens in Egypt every day is normal and normal, as if you were collecting Frankenstein's pieces from All over the world in one horrible body to justify your ugliness.

Of course, all this is too familiar, because it is the same logic that the authority uses to justify almost anything. The internal reality is disastrous for disasters in all areas, and disasters are justified only by disasters, and the result is that we see nothing but the "West" of its disadvantages. We see the Premiership with its brilliant organization and its extraordinary marketing. We only care about Manchester City's exceptional situation. Then we go to Spain and ignore the great academies and wonderful photography. And extract the touches of Pique's hand and the false Prizes, and so on. This is exactly what the Minister of Transport does when he declares that the metro ticket in Egypt is cheaper than its counterpart in Europe, that the price of fuel is the same world price, and that train accidents occur all over the world. (19) (20) (21)

In fact, the actions of Khatib, Murtada Mansour and Turki Al-Sheikh and the Egyptian Federation are not surprising to this degree, but are a natural result of their preferences and backgrounds and previous choices, but the real paradox lies in the audience of the Egyptian ball itself, which was a large sector in the forefront of the opposition to this system until recently , And now he is robbing all those who reject the degeneration of the current conflict by empty-handed auctions, and considers that the only acceptable justification for criticism and objection is to be born in the dialogues of Catalonia and Madrid, or arose to attend the matches of Chelsea and Manchester United in the stadium, and since you are not either About the endoscopy and to mingle in the mud like the rest.

This scene is the most insane and exciting of all, the scene in which the audience turned the ball from seeking to change the miserable reality to seek to cherish and entrench and blackmail the opponents. This is what makes this story without lesson or wisdom is used, without a conclusion or conclusion worthy of it, just layers of accumulated mold will not find what is usable for whatever our search.
