The former Zamalek coach, Mohamed Salah, was surprised by the media’s view of Al-Ahly and the Egyptian team, Ahmed Fathi, and put him in the traitor’s position after he refused the renewal of Al-Ahly and preferred to move to Pyramids after 12 years inside the walls of Al-Ahly.
Pyramids had announced the inclusion of the Egyptian national team star, Ahmed Fathi, starting from the next season for a period of 3 years, and the Egyptian star was subjected to a campaign of criticism, especially after the statement he made to “Emirates Today” in which he said that he wishes to remain on the field until the 2022 World Cup (see the details ).
Mohamed Salah said, in a television interview with the Zamalek channel: “Frankly, I do not know what the story is, Ahmed Fathi Khan, and Abdullah Al-Saeed when he left Ismaili to Al-Ahly was a professional, and when he left Al-Ahly and signed with Zamalek then the story of Pyramids is a traitor, and Mahmoud Kahraba when he moved from Zamalek to Al-Ahly through a professional Portuguese station, it is in any! what is happening?".
He added: “Certainly Ahmed Fathi lost Al-Ahly fans, but when he made his decision to move from Al-Ahly there is no betrayal. This is his decision and professionalism. Why do we want to make the player a traitor and did not equal the media presentation in the same way when Abdullah Al-Saeed, or Mahmoud Kahraba moved to Al-Ahly, the situation is frankly strange.” .
