The former Zamalek team leader, Tarek El-Sayed, was amazed at the position of the fans and the media about the Egyptian star Ahmed Fathi, after he decided to leave the Red Castle because of his preference for money over belonging, indicating that his decision is correct because he is not a member of the club.
Ahmed Fathi had refused to stay in Al-Ahly and decided to leave the team at the end of the season, after negotiations between the two parties failed, after which he announced the Pyramids club that officially included the player for a period of three seasons.
Tariq Al-Sayed said in televised statements on OnTime Sport: “Ahmed Fathi preferred money over belonging, and I support him in this decision, because he saw what happened, his colleague Hossam Ashour, who is a son of the club, it is natural for Fathi to make his decision to leave, Because of what is happening inside Al-Ahly in the way of dealing with his sons such as Ashour and Hussam Ghaly, it is not correct for me to ask you for idealism and I do not implement it. "
The former Egyptian national added: "But when I was in Ahmed Fathi's position, I behaved differently, preferring to belong to the money, when Al-Ahly asked for my support and I was the leader of Zamalek at the time. I refused, despite the financial difference that was in the interest of Al-Ahmar, Al-Ahly negotiated me three times before." And I was refusing every time, but I fulfilled the club’s request when he wanted to sit with me, in order to respect the Al-Ahly club, it is normal for me to ask for a large number from Al-Ahly, because I moved from the opposing team in a free transfer, and because the Portuguese legendary former coach of Al-Ahly, He had called me by name. "
Regarding his presence in the Egyptian team, he said: "I have been wronged a lot with the Egyptian team. There is no left back like me. I scored nearly 30 goals during the 12 years I played with Zamalek."
