Today, a representative from the law office of Ashraf Abdel Aziz, who is defending the player Ahmed Mostafa "Zizo," visited Zamalek Club based on an official request from the lawyer to obtain a copy of the investigation that the player recently underwent, as well as a copy of the investigation results conducted within the club.

According to a source inside Zamalek Club, the representative arrived early at the club and headed to the legal affairs department to follow up on the legal request. However, the legal affairs department firmly refused to provide any copies of the ongoing investigations or their results, stressing that the investigation is still open and has not been completed or finalized. Therefore, legally and administratively, no documents related to the case could be handed over at this stage.

The source explained that the refusal was also in line with strict instructions from the management, which emphasized the need to maintain the confidentiality of the investigation process and avoid disrupting the legal procedure, especially since there is still an internal evaluation by the legal committee regarding the player's statements and the circumstances surrounding his absence from team training.

The lawyer's representative left the club without obtaining any documents or papers, raising questions about the intentions of Zamalek's management regarding Zizo's current situation, especially amid the ongoing tension between the club and the player, following recent reports about him signing with another club, amid conflicting stories about his next destination, whether inside Egypt or abroad.

It is worth noting that Zizo underwent a lengthy investigation session at Zamalek Club yesterday, where he completely denied signing with any other club and confirmed that his travel visa to the United States was for personal, tourism-related purposes only. He also emphasized that his recent absence from the team was not an act of rebellion or betrayal, but rather due to being excluded by the Portuguese head coach, José Ferreira, and his feeling of insecurity after images circulated showing the public disrespecting him, including pictures of his image being stepped on. He considered this a direct threat to his personal safety, especially given the escalating fan tension due to rumors.

Although Zizo has been attending the club's headquarters daily, he does not participate in collective training with his teammates. Instead, he trains alone, away from the eyes of the coaching staff and the media, reflecting the ongoing tension and uncertainty about his future with the team.

There is growing concern within the sports community about the player's future, especially since he is a key figure at Zamalek and enjoys wide popularity among fans. However, the recent crisis has sparked debate over his loyalty to the club and raised questions about the viability of continuing the relationship between both parties given the ongoing distance and confusion surrounding the situation.

At the same time, some parties close to the club's management are attempting to calm the situation and address the issue internally, away from media escalation. This is particularly true since the player has not issued any offensive statements against the club, which may open the door for a possible reconciliation if both sides are willing.

On the other hand, Zizo's lawyer continues his legal efforts to obtain what he sees as his client's right, asserting that access to the investigation documents is essential for the defense, as it is a key element for any legal action that might be taken later, either by the player or his legal representative. This signals the possibility of the case escalating into an official legal dispute if a peaceful resolution is not reached in the coming days.

Observers confirm that the current crisis is one of the most complex issues within Zamalek in recent years, due to its significant public, administrative, and legal dimensions. This requires all parties involved to exercise wisdom and calm in handling the situation to prevent further complications that could affect the stability of the team in a season where the club is already facing significant pressure both technically and administratively.

With no official statement from Zamalek's management yet, the uncertainty remains, waiting for what the coming days may bring in terms of developments that could either change the course of the crisis or deepen it further.
