Abdel Zaher El-Sakka: I believe that Wail Jumaa and I are the best duo in the history of Egypt, and Imam Ashour should learn the value of responsibility.
Abdel Zaher El-Sakka, the former star of Egyptian football, believes that Imam Ashour, a player for Al Ahly and the Egyptian national team, needs to learn responsibility after reaching a distinguished level in football, to become a role model for future generations.
El-Sakka stated in an interview with "Youm7," delivering strong messages to a group of football stars:
- Hossam Abdel-Meguid
You must realize that you are Egypt's defender for the next 10 years, and you need to improve yourself and your skills faster and more significantly.
- Hassan Shehata
We wish you good health, I love you very much, and we ask God to honor and appreciate you.
- Imam Ashour
You will be a prominent player for the team and the national team in the coming years, and what you did before cannot continue now. You must feel that you are great and recognize your talent, and that the fans are influenced by you. This is a responsibility because stardom means responsibility, and you must be a role model for the youth.
- Zizo
Zizo is one of the professional figures I respect, and I believe he has overcome the pressures he faced after moving to Al Ahly. In the coming period, Zizo should return to being as he was before, to have a positive impact on the Egyptian national team.
When asked about the best defensive line in Egyptian football, El-Sakka pointed out that this topic might anger some, but there is a fixed truth: those who have won titles deserve to be present, as a player is measured by numbers. I see that I and Wael Gomaa are the two defenders who have won the most titles after we won 3 Africa Cup of Nations with the national team, and we deserve to be in the best defensive line in the history of the national team. For example, Ibrahim Hassan was a great player, but when talking about titles, we find that Ahmed Fathy achieved a lot with the national team. I believe that: Ahmed Fathy, Wael Gomaa, Abdel Zaher El-Sakka, and Sayed Moawad form the best defensive line in the history of Egyptian football.
