Zamalek President Mortada Mansour has described Kenyan Premier League side Gor Mahia as a weak team this coming after he also questioned the capabilities of his club’s head coach Christian Gross.
The comments came after the team’s last-minute slip up against NA Hussein Dey in the CAF Confederations Cup group stage clash staged at the Borg El Arab Stadium last week that saw the team squander a chance to go top of the group.
According to the President as quoted by the country’s portal Kingfut the head coach was proving stubborn and he did not understand why his side failed to beat the Kenyan side in their recent meeting with Gor Mahia having put four goals past them.
“What Gross does is stubbornness and has no other explanation. I don’t seek clash with him for Zamalek fans, it’s not just about the draw and it’s not even related to football. But what happened against NA Hussein Dey is unacceptable, after we had the chance to become group leaders we are now in the bottom.”
“We got knocked out from Arab Championship against Ittihad, lost to a weak side in Kenya. This is difficult to understand,” Mortada said.
Zamalek is at the bottom of their group with just one point with Gor Mahia being in second place with three points.
