Controversy Surrounds Sherif Ekrami’s Media Statement

Former Al-Ahly and national team player Ahmed Bilal has condemned the advice given by veteran players regarding Pyramids goalkeeper ⁢Sherif Ekrami’s media statement.

Bilal took to his Facebook account​ to express‍ his thoughts, stating, “Philosophical captain who dispenses advice ​to experienced‍ players, ‍thank⁣ you for your valuable advice,​ and we will, of course, advise you‌ 20 years ago that⁤ you were practicing a profession witnessing ‍Arabs and ‌foreigners and you are still here.”

Bilal continued, “I ‌am happy ⁢and pleased ‍that you​ have found a profession⁣ where⁣ you can ⁤be good, which allows us to appreciate, criticize, and analyze ‍our experience, our history in the stadium, and our ⁢abilities. Experience and ability⁢ have become such⁣ that you say Ramadan Kareem.”

Sherif Ekrami ​responded to Bilal’s post, saying, “In‌ fact, it is a reflection of your superficial mentality and your empty mind on⁤ social media, which is actually viewed ​with disdain by many outsiders.”

Ekrami concluded, “Sports, in its essence, is based on ⁤fair competition‍ on the field ⁤and mutual respect⁣ off it. I know life after retirement and being away from the limelight is painful, but⁣ come back ⁤to work if​ you want. Or let⁢ people ⁢remember you, try to find a more respectful way. People like you‌ are considered the elite of the‍ sport… role models for ‍the fans, not the other ⁤way around.”

Bilal Denies Insulting Zamalek Club

Ahmed Bilal ‍denied accusations ​of insulting the Zamalek⁢ club ⁤before‌ facing Al-Ahly in the African Super Cup.

In ⁢a⁢ statement‍ on the On Time‍ Sports satellite channel, Bilal said, ‍”It ​is ‌a big fortress, ⁢it has great​ value, it has a⁤ history and a great fan base,​ and I appreciate its fans.”

Bilal ‍noted that sometimes statements are shortened and inappropriately delivered to fans,⁣ adding ​that he was talking about Zamalek’s performance in the last two ⁣matches.

Bilal predicted that ​Zamalek ⁣would perform well against Al-Ahly ‍in the⁢ Super Cup, saying, “I think ‍the African Super Cup match will be over before it⁤ starts in‍ favor of Al-Ahly, in light of Zamalek’s very modest level.”

He ⁢added, “Zamalek, at⁣ its current level, I think it will not hit the crossbar in the match, and ⁣if it ⁣plays the match at‌ this level, ⁤it does⁤ not⁤ need to travel‌ to Saudi Arabia. Lose a ​big result,⁣ and Al-Ahmar’s win rate is⁢ 90%.”

Upcoming Match: Al-Ahly vs Zamalek in the African Super​ Cup

Zamalek is scheduled to meet their opponents Al-Ahli next Friday at 9 pm‌ at the Kingdom Arena⁣ in the Saudi Sports​ Capital in the African Super Cup.
