Ayman Younes, the former Zamalek star, criticized Nasser Maher, the white team's player, after his poor performance in the second leg of the African Confederation Cup quarter-finals against Stellenbosch.

The match between Zamalek and Stellenbosch ended with the latter winning 1-0, allowing the South African club to advance to the semi-finals of the Confederation Cup, as the first leg had ended in a goalless draw (0-0).

Ayman Younes stated in television remarks on "On Sport" channel: "I am annoyed with Nasser Maher; he had a great opportunity to be a substitute for Zizo, because Abdullah El-Said, no matter what he does, won't contribute much to Zamalek since he is 40 years old."

He added: "What do you want, Nasser Maher? A chance is coming for you to become a superstar; Zamalek cannot live without a star. Throughout the ages, Zamalek generations have had this level of stardom."

He continued: "I was expecting Nasser Maher to be able to compensate for Zizo's position, and he must compete for that; it is unacceptable for him to be an ordinary player."
