الصالح نيوز : محمود الجزار: لم أحصل على فرصتي كاملة بالأهلى.. وهذه كواليس المفاوضات

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar, the current National Bank and former Al-Ahly club defender, confirmed that there are many factors that contributed to his remarkable brilliance over the past seasons, the most important of which is a stable club, a board of directors at the highest level, strong and respected technical staff, and a list of players with the strongest and most important stars. He said, “Praise be to God, this is my fifth season with the National Bank. Everyone is talking about the good level I am presenting and the great development that has occurred in my level.”

“Al-Gazzar” added, in statements to the Ora League Stars program with Ahmed Al-Masry on Radio On Sport FM, “The National Bank Club is one of the best clubs in Egypt currently. Everything is available from Major General Ashraf Nassar and Professor Mohamed Abdel Moneim, and this is what helps me and the players to focus on football only and bring out their best for the benefit of the team.”

The former Al-Ahly player continued: Financial and administrative stability, along with the presence of a popular back, are important things for the success of any club or player experience. Being in an administratively stable place that has all the financial capabilities in addition to the presence of fans behind you, this helps you in your work a lot, and the evidence is look at how the fans talk about the players of popular clubs, and how they have more opportunities in the national team and in media appearances. Everything has advantages and disadvantages.

He continued, “We always face bad luck at the beginning of the league, but we succeed in overcoming it and presenting great levels. Currently, the difference between those in fourth and fifth place is only 3 points. This means that one match or one win will put you among the greats, God willing.”

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar continued his speech, “Our goal as players and technical staff led by Captain Ayman Al-Ramadi and Asem Salah in the current season is to be among the top six by the end of the first round, as well as to appear strongly in the Egypt Cup and Capital Cup tournaments and reach the furthest point in them. We have a technical staff at the highest level, we have administrative and financial stability, and we have everything that makes us present in a position worthy of the name of the National Bank Club.”

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: The competition for the league is “very difficult”.. and no one can know who will be the champion this season

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar pointed out that the current format of the league championship makes competing for the title more difficult, especially with the reduction in the number of clubs in the champion group, adding: Everyone is looking to escape from the relegation group, so the results of the matches have become unpredictable. The league is very difficult and we at the National Bank are fully focused on being in a position worthy of our names as players and the name and status of the club, and God willing, we can do something good this season.

“Al-Gazzar” added, “The competition for the league title will be very strong this season. I think this is the best start for Pyramids since the team’s name changed. The team is moving at a steady pace and presenting the best football in Egypt currently, but you also cannot exclude Zamalek from the competition despite the problems and circumstances of suspension of registration, because the team has fans and an entity that can lead the team towards the podium despite any crises or difficulties.

The former Al-Ahly player continued, “As for Al-Ahly, its fans are accustomed to winning the league title every season, and what happened last season I believe will not be repeated again. The beginning of the current season for Al-Ahly is much better than the last season, and this is what makes the competition for the league title more difficult, especially in the last matches. When we return to the season before last, we find that the competition was fierce and Al-Ahly settled matters in the end. Last season, Zamalek surprised everyone and won the title despite the crises and problems. The competition is very difficult, as I told you, among everyone, and you cannot predict the identity of the league champion.

He continued, it is very possible that there will be surprises in the names of the Champion Group clubs. The season before last we were present with the Border Guard and Petrojet. Last season it was Enppi and Smouha. This season you may find other names, and this confirms my previous words that the competition is difficult and you cannot judge anyone now.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar continued his speech: After Al-Ahly, Zamalek and Pyramids, I hope that we will be among the top six in the league this season, and I expect the presence of Ceramica Cleopatra, who are going well with Captain Ali Maher, and on this occasion I congratulate him on his presence with the Egyptian national team and on his great victory over Malawi by five goals. He is a great coach and deserves it. As for sixth place, the competition for him will be very difficult.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: I did not get my full chance at Al-Jazira Castle…and this is behind the scenes of the negotiations with Al-Ahly

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar stressed, firstly, that he is in a very respectable system led by Major General Ashraf Nassar, a system that any player would like to be in, a club that is administratively, technically, and financially stable, and this is one of the reasons for his success, and secondly, that he is working to develop his abilities and capabilities continuously in order to reach a distinguished and permanent level.

“Al-Gazzar” added: Al-Ahly Club is my home. Everyone knew Mahmoud Al-Gazzar through Al-Jazeera portal. I wore the red shirt in 2018. Perhaps I only lasted one season and did not get my full opportunity, but it was a special season in which I learned a lot, the most important of which is commitment and discipline and how to be a fighting player on the field and bear responsibility. These things are the reason for my excellence and brilliance so far. Also, having my name associated with Al-Ahly Club is a great honor for me. It is a big dream for any player to wear the red shirt and represent Al-Ahly club. In various tournaments and competitions.

The former Al-Ahly player continued: There was contact before with Captain Mohamed Youssef, but things did not reach an agreement, and currently no one has contacted me personally, and if it happened with me or my agent, everyone would know that for sure. What is being circulated is just talk, but there is nothing official, and it is a great honor for me to return to wearing the Al-Ahly club shirt because it is a big dream for any player.

He continued: I played for Al-Ahly at a young age, and the competition was strong with Rami Rabia, Saad Samir, Ayman Ashraf, and Mohamed Naguib. They are all great names and players, and I actually learned a lot from them, but I did not get my full opportunity. I hope to return again to prove myself and to compensate for the previous opportunity that was not completed.

Mahmoud Al-Jazzar adds: If I am in Al-Ahly Club after the approval of the National Bank Club management, I am fully capable of competing with the current defensive line players. Strong competition will be in the team’s interest because it will bring out the best in every player.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: Ashraf Nassar is a father to all players…and Al-Ahly’s defense players are oppressed because of “comparisons.”

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar stressed that Major General Ashraf Nassar is not just a club president, but he is a father to all players. He is a respected and professional man to the utmost degree and knows what he is doing well. As for his statement about his not objecting to the departure of any player in the event of a good offer and desire from the player, it is a wonderful statement that carries important and strong messages for everyone.

Al-Gazzar added: Al-Ahly does not have a defensive crisis, and its defenders are oppressed because of the constant comparisons with former players, and this is what always puts them under great pressure, as they are required to fully concentrate and be the best defense line in the tournament.

The former Al-Ahly player continued: Currently, Pyramids is the strongest line of defense, but Al-Ahly fans want to see their team be the best in everything, so there is always pressure to achieve the best in everything.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar continued his speech: Al-Ahly’s current defense players are good. Perhaps the young age of some or lack of experience due to lack of play causes mistakes, but continuity will make the difference, and the most important thing is continuous work to develop the level and correct mistakes.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: Playing for Al-Ahly and Zamalek is different… and Al-Ahmar did not fail to replace Abdel Moneim and Rabia

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar said that playing for Al-Ahly or Zamalek is different from other clubs. Both teams need a certain type of player who can bear responsibility and great pressure, players who are always fully focused because all the spotlight is on you and anything you do, whether positive or negative, you will find everyone commenting on it. One good match in Al-Ahly or Zamalek is capable of getting you to Seventh Sama and giving you more chances in the Egyptian national team, and vice versa.

“Al-Gazzar” added: “I wish Amr Al-Gazzar a recovery. He is a respected personality and a very good player, and God willing, he will return safely. Yasser Ibrahim and Ashraf Dari have great experience due to the nature of the competitions in which they played. Amr Al-Gazzar was doing well before the injury. Hadi Riyad and Yassin Merhi are good players and capable of developing, but they were not under the same pressures as the duo Yasser and Dari, whether with the club or the national team, and this is what gives them the advantage over any player.” Another.

The former Al-Ahly player continued: Al-Ahly did not fail to compensate for the departure of Rami Rabia and Mohamed Abdel Moneim before him, because the administration knows what it wants and what it is doing, but perhaps what happened last season opened the door to talk negatively about the team in general and the defense line in particular.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar continued his speech: The defense line is the position on the field that everyone talks about negatively because of its responsibility for preventing goals, but with time things will change and become better. Al-Ahly’s management knows what to do well.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: The abundance of stars in the dressing room is not the cause of Al-Ahly’s problems

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar stressed that being in large or popular clubs makes the player’s evaluation different and his chances of joining the national team stronger, because of the amount of pressure you are exposed to and the amount of great experience that being in a popular club gives you. On the contrary, there are players who cannot bear the pressure and therefore are unable to show their potential. These are the advantages and disadvantages of being in large clubs.

“Al-Gazzar” added: My not joining the national team previously “is not an injustice.” In the end, it is a coach’s choices and convictions. You as a player only do what you have to, and the evidence is that there are players from non-fan clubs in the national team. All the best to Captain Ali Maher in his new mission, and I am optimistic about his presence at the head of the technical leadership of the Egyptian national team.

He added: The large number of stars sometimes becomes a problem and sometimes it is a good thing. The matter depends on the way the dressing room is managed, and what is the purpose of the presence of all these stars? The large number of stars was not the cause of problems in Al-Ahly last season, and the evidence is that the golden generation of Al-Ahly club was full of stars, but there was a strong technical director, Mr. Manuel Jose, who was able to control and control the dressing room thanks to his strong personality, and thus great successes occurred and all the championships were crowned.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar continued his speech: What happened last season in Al-Ahly Club and not winning any championship opened the door to negative comments in general about the team, despite this happening in the largest teams in the world such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool and other clubs. This is a normal thing in football and the manner of dress is not always the reason.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar: Pyramids is the best team currently.. and I hope to form a strong duo with Mohamed Abdel Moneim in the Egyptian national team

Mahmoud El-Gazzar stressed that Pyramids is the best team in recent years in Egyptian football, stressing that they play real and strong football and that they are strong competitors in all tournaments, and this season they have made a great start in all continental and local tournaments and competitions.

“Al-Gazzar” added: Pyramids has created a different situation in Egyptian football since its presence in 2019. It has become a strong cornerstone of Egyptian football, and this is something that is taken into account by the board of directors, the technical staff and the players.

The former Al-Ahly player continued: The duo, Ali Maher and Ayman Al-Ramadi, are the best in Egyptian football in recent years. I congratulate Captain Ali Maher for taking over the leadership of the Egyptian national team and achieving a victory over Malawi by five at the beginning of his career, and I say to Captain Ayman Al-Ramadi, thank God for your safety, you have enlightened your club, and a thousand peace be upon you.

He added: Nasser Maher and Muhannad Lashin are the best in Egyptian football currently. They are performing at very distinguished levels and are moving at a steady pace. As for Emam, he is a very great player with a wonderful talent. God willing, he can return for the Egyptian national team and Al-Ahly club because he is very influential.

He continued: Zizou is one of the best players currently with Al-Ahly. He has a strong influence and succeeded in getting rid of pressure. The Sami and Merhi duo in Pyramids is currently the best defensively thanks to the continuity from last season. I hope to form a strong defensive duo with Mohamed Abdel Moneim in the Egyptian national team.

Mahmoud Al-Gazzar concluded his speech: Wearing the Egyptian national team shirt is the most prominent and important goal that I seek to achieve, and winning a championship with the National Bank Club, and, God willing, the next will be better.
