The star of Al-Ahly, Zamalek and the former Egyptian team, Gamal Abdel Hamid, was not surprised by the way Al-Ahly dealt with captain Hossam Ashour or goalkeeper Sharif Ekrami, indicating that the Al-Ahly club used to do this with many stars, who was one of these throughout history.
Al-Ahly announced that it does not intend to renew the captain, Hossam Ashour, who is considered the most player in the history of Egypt who won tournaments with 34 different championships, in addition to Sherif Ekrami, the goalkeeper.
The Egyptian player said, in statements reported by Egyptian media, that a number of the stars departing from Al-Ahly Club said: “It is not new to Al-Ahly before that. Gamal Abdel Hamid walked after the injury, Hossam Hassan and Ibrahim Hassan. Very normal. Every player in Al-Ahly, no matter how much he has won tournaments and scored a win, will be expelled. Normal, Imad Miteb was also kicked out of Al-Ahly and many of Al-Ahly's players left in this way. Likewise, Mustafa Abdo is not surprised by this behavior from Al-Ahly, as is the usual.
He added: “Hossam Ashour, one more in Egypt, raised tournaments, and yet they did not respect his history and told him this is the coach’s point of view, and when I read that I was amazed, it is certainly not possible to force the coach on players, but we appoint a football committee in clubs to have an opinion with the coach, otherwise why should we establish it?” .
Al-Ahly club issued a statement after its meeting with Hussam Hussam Ashour, confirming what happened between the two parties and demanded that he stay in the club and hold a retirement match and support him in his training career.
