For the first time… Al-Ahly reveals… "The hardest decision" About Zizou

Walid Salah El-Din, director of football at Al-Ahly Club, was keen to reveal for the first time his most difficult decision since assuming his position in the Reds.

Walid Salah El-Din said during television statements: The most difficult decision I have faced at Al-Ahly Club since I assumed my position is to exclude Mohamed Magdy Afsha and Ahmed Zizo from the summit match against Zamalek.

Walid Salah El-Din added: Zizo and Afsha returned from injury only two days before the Zamalek match. At that time, I spoke with the technical staff and the team doctor and we agreed not to risk the players despite the difficulty of the decision and the Al-Ahly club’s need for their efforts in an important confrontation against… Zamalek.
