Mortada Mansour, Chairman of the Zamalek Club, talked about the details behind the scenes of the last hours in the club and the position of the White Castle in the Ismaili match in the Egyptian Premier League, scheduled for the evening of October 26, in the final round of the two teams in the famous local tournament, in addition to talking about the Confederation of African Football announcing the postponement of a match Zamalek and Moroccan Raja in the second leg of the CAF Champions League semi-final on November 1.
Mortada Mansour confirmed that the Portuguese coach, Jaime Pacheco, is the team’s manager who decided to approve the Ismaili league match on October 26, after the Competitions Committee announced the date of the match, adding that the Dervish match would be a dress rehearsal for the next confrontation against Raja club, and Pacheco said I do not want the fans. Get me down, and I want them to stand behind the team. “
The president of the Zamalek club stressed in televised statements on the Zamalek satellite channel with the journalist Khaled Al-Ghandour: “The coach of Pacheco, who requested the establishment of the Ismaili match in the league on this date, so I was saying that not everything that knows is said, and that there is no conspiracy, and the fans of Zamalek do not know. Something, God willing, we will win, and Amir Mortada is currently preparing a memorandum to be sent within 24 hours by an Italian lawyer to the International Sports Court, in which he writes all the circumstances of the postponement of the semi-finals and the final date, and these are the club’s rights that I preserve.
He continued: “Whoever says I destroy the club, I tell them, I know what is going on in (the kitchen) and behind the scenes. The media praised Mahmoud Al-Khatib when he agreed to postpone the African Champions League matches before, and that he was polite and respectful, so why did no one speak about me when I did that.”
He added: “Al-Khatib agreed to the postponement for a month, but I agreed for a week, and the world was on fire even though it is to heal the injured, and Ahmed Ahmed is living his weakest days due to the approaching elections, and this matter is calculated in the interest of Zamalek.” He continued: “I have two injured players too, there is Mahmoud Alaa.” And Ferjani Sassi is returning from infection with the Corona virus, Hazem Imam, Abdel Shafi, and Shekabala … Zamalek is not afraid and won over Raja by striking force in Morocco and will not be afraid in Cairo, in addition to the return of the injured such as Shikabala, Mahmoud Alaa and Ferjani Sassi.
He explained: “I asked Ashraf bin Sharqi about those who did not play the last match from the Raja team, and he told me that Raja played all the main players, what is the problem then?” And he concluded: “Fawzi Lakjaa, President of the Moroccan Federation, I make a decision with Kaf to postpone the match, and he goes in Morocco and says He is in control .. Even if CAF does not postpone the Champions League final, we are ready for the match .. The African final will be pure Egyptian, and I am optimistic about the finals when I face Al-Ahly. “
