Books – Ali Al-Bahji:
Mortada Mansour, president of Zamalek club, said that all international institutions talk about respecting his club in light of its position on postponing its match against Moroccan Raja in the African Champions League.
Mansour added, in statements on the Zamalek club channel, that what matters to him is the health and safety of all players, whether in Egypt or abroad.
He continued: “The whole world is talking about the respectable club Zamalek. We have nothing to do with postponing the Raja match, but it is a humanitarian decision that was respected by all international institutions.”
He explained, that his talk of agreeing to postpone the Raja match was humanitarian, and it is impossible for his team to play with this number of infections with the Coronavirus.
He pointed out that he was not like Mahmoud al-Khatib, who insisted on establishing a confrontation with Al-Ahly with Al-Masry despite the latter’s infection with the Corona virus, and at that time I blamed him on the air.
He stressed that when Ahmed Ahmed, President Kaff spoke to him to postpone the Champions League, I said that I do not agree, and Pyramids said that as well, and at that time Al-Khatib was also against the delay.
He concluded: “After that, Al-Khatib changed his mind and agreed to the postponement, and I insisted on my position by not agreeing, because the health and safety of the youngest player in Al-Ahly or hope for all the world championships.”
