Hussein Abdel Ghani: I demand that Mendy be captain of Al-Ahly

Hussein Abdel-Ghani, the former Al-Ahly star, confirmed that he would like to see Al-Ahly goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as captain of the team.

Abdul Ghani said on the “Dorina Gear” program: “Mendy’s injury is a big loss. I criticized him at the beginning of his career with the team, but now I demand that he be a leader.”

He added: “Mendy has been performing at exceptional levels since last season, and plays a major role in the dressing room.”

He noted: “My respect for Mendy increased after he suffered the injury Minutes before the end of the first half of the Al-Akhdood match, he then preferred to be on his own and left at halftime.”

He continued: “Mendy did not want to put his substitute teammate in an awkward position, because he would have to go straight in without warming up, and the team had just conceded a goal.”
