Ahmed Suleiman’s statements
Awad added in television statements: Mohamed Awad was one of the main reasons for Zamalek’s victory in the Confederation and African Super Cup, and we were surprised, after the absence of main goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy, that another goalkeeper other than Awad played, even though he was qualified in the opinion of all critics and journalists, and the technical director when he said, “I was thinking about including Awad during The second half, when we lead, this is an underestimation of the technical capabilities of a great goalkeeper.
He continued: Hossam Abdel Majeed participated in the Olympics and is one of the best defenders in the league. He was not present in the two matches except in the last half hour, even though he has great international experience with the Olympic team and with Zamalek in Africa, and Mohamed Shehata returned to us injured from the national team and will be absent for 6 weeks.
He added: On the administrative level, we were surprised that the players of one of the Egyptian League teams attended the national team’s camp a day later than the rest of the teams. These matters show the mistreatment of Zamalek, the leader of the Egyptian League, the winner of the African Championship and the African Super Champions Champion, and the Egyptian Super Cup, with a penalty shootout, could have become its champion. We presented Zizou for the Olympic team and this was for the national mission, and we were not waiting for this treatment.
He concluded: I will only convey the picture because this affects the players psychologically, and this is the management’s decision, as I am the football supervisor, but we are interested in reforming arbitration, impartiality, and fairness in dealing with everyone.
