Ahmed Hossam Mido, the former Zamalek star, attacked Osama Hosny, the former Ahly star, following his recent statements against Zamalek.

Mido said in television statements on the "Al-Nahar" channel: "Everything that Osama Hosny said is wrong, and such statements should not come from someone close to the board of directors of Al Ahly club."

He added: "There is a tendency to take Zamalek lightly by some former Ahly stars, whereas you will find all former Zamalek stars speaking with great respect about Ahly at all times."

He continued: "How can you come on television and say that the Zamalek board sold part of the 6th of October land without obtaining the necessary permits! That is a serious accusation."

He completed: "To make such a statement, you must have evidence because you are talking about a big club, you are talking about Zamalek. Just because Zamalek is quiet and waiting for its legal rights does not mean it is vulnerable."

He concluded: "You are a person close to Mahmoud El Khatib, you must be careful with your words; you are calling for the dissolution of the Zamalek board, which means you want to bring down Zamalek."
