Ikrami refuses to distort his relationship with Al-Ahly .. Ramadan Sobhi decided to leave
Sherif Ikrami, goalkeeper of the first football team of the Egyptian Al-Ahly club, confirmed that he would not allow the distortion of his relationship with the Red entity and its great fans.
Ikrami said in several tweets on his official account on the social networking site "Twitter" today, Saturday: "On the occasion of the current confusion about Ramadan Sobhi regarding his decision and with the attempts to put my name in this confusion, so allow me, before commenting on what is being circulated, to clarify some facts for the first time. To the masses that have not witnessed me but honesty. "
He added: "I very much appreciate the grief and anger of the masses at the decision of Ramadan, and whatever the degree of kinship between us, do not give me the right to speak about any details related to it, and what I am concerned with here is to clarify the strange image that many imagine and which I do not know for the benefit of who is exported in this way, which in fact is not fulfilled. An affair with the nature of my personality or his personality. "
He explained: "At the beginning, I learned at Al-Ahly to take responsibility, confront, apologize at the mistake and tell the truth even if it angered the majority. I hope that we will not deviate from what we learned inside the club and not leave the current reality an opportunity to create a strange alternative approach within the most successful Egyptian sports institutions."
He continued: "First, I was the first to strongly support Ramadan four years ago to start his professional career despite the opposition of some within the club because of the timing and their desire to continue within the team to achieve the maximum technical benefit from the player and this is an acceptable disagreement, in the end Ramadan traveled to England with the approval of the club after negotiations that achieved the interests of both parties." .
He stressed: "Two years ago, I was the first to reject the principle of the return of Ramadan in Egypt, despite my love for Al-Ahly and knowing the club's need for him at the time, whether by loaning or selling, but my keenness on his artistic future was the main reason for the rejection, despite that I took his decision on his own to return after agreeing with Al-Ahly officials without any interference. From me or consulted by both parties. "
He said: "After the last African championship, the features of Ramadan's personality appeared to light, which everyone praised, most notably the personality and the decision. It is not permissible to talk now about the captain of the Olympic team and one of the most important Egyptian football players now as if he has no identity and does not have his decision, as he is a decision-maker who has his own accounts that we have agreed upon. Or we disagree. "
He added: "Since Ramadan's professionalism until now, Al-Ahly officials have succeeded in borrowing the player twice professionally by communicating with the player and an agent only, and it has never happened that any official or my father asked me to intervene to persuade or bring points of view, and I always deliberately kept away from any details." To prevent this confusion, but during the past years, specifically the last two years and so far, everyone inside the club knows the dimensions of my league within the team, and I do not mean what concerns the players only, but as a team leader, the matter has gone over to other files far from the stadium and those in charge of the team are witnesses of that.
He explained: "I always believe that the positions are more credible than the statements. Whoever wants to demolish the positions of many years gone by for the sake of an event that does not concern me has absolute freedom. I am not a fan of argument at all. In the end, history will document who is most sincere and who was loyal to my family and who did not die." Who benefits under the mask of loyalty? "
He continued: "What I mentioned is part of repaying the right of the Al-Ahly club, which has a merit over me and everyone. I do not expect thanks, praise, or credit. Rather, this is the duty of any righteous son towards his club, but the opposite is not for me to be distorted through conclusions based on baseless suspicions of Health, just because our names are linked to the same club next season, and I do not hope that my leaving my home with respect and clarity did not meet with approval from some, which led to a desire to spoil the relationship with the club, so no matter how much pressure I will never be tempted to attack anyone in order to defend myself We are all players and officials who are nothing but temporary stages in the life of a large remaining entity. "
He said: "I appeal first to the fans, as a leader of the players, to place the stability of the team as a priority during the coming period, given the important matches before the African championship, which has been absent from the club for seven years, and to stay away from any controversy that might affect the players' concentration in this critical period."
He explained, "Over the course of two years, Ramadan returned to Al-Ahly on loan. It did not happen that any role was dropped for me or my father, so the question here is why we were pushed against the failure to complete the contract! Is it just because our names are linked to the same club !! Or just because my father declared that Ramadan is Will he be affected by my departure, or the need for a scapegoat to bear the responsibility for what happened? Why did I not hide or hide, even in the most difficult circumstances, I used to face the masses honestly during the past years, and everything I wrote is not an excuse or a defense, but rather the right of the masses wanting to know the truth that may not be Some people want to hear it, in the end all the respect and freedom for you to believe or think what you want. "
He stressed: "Finally, what is run within the family, there is no room for talking about it or discussing it in the media, and whatever the decision of Ramadan will remain my younger brother whom I cherish always, and whether or not his decision coincides with my desire, I will be the first to support him, so there is no room for bids on me, my love and loyalty to my family and my respect for his fans." But keeping the family bond is the priority. "
