Egyptian footballer Ayman Ashraf, currently playing for Wadi Degla and formerly with Bank El Ahly, has clarified that his recent remarks were never intended to insult or accuse any specific coach or individual. He emphasized that his comments were general opinions shared during the conversation only 🗣️⚽.
Through a post on his official X (Twitter) account, Ayman issued a sincere clarification, apologizing to anyone who may have misunderstood his words. He stressed that his statements did not target or attack any person, adding: “I take full responsibility for everything I said and refuse to let anyone speak on my behalf or interpret my words out of context. I also didn’t mention any names — any name that appeared later was not from me and doesn’t reflect my stance.”
Ayman concluded by expressing his deep respect and appreciation for coach Tarek Mostafa, saying their relationship has always been based on mutual respect and friendship, and that he would never allow his words to be twisted in a way that harms anyone 🤝❤️.
On the other hand, Tarek Mostafa, former Zamalek star, ex-coach of Bank El Ahly, and current manager of Ahly Benghazi (Libya), responded to the accusations made by Ahmed Yasser, a former Al-Masry player, claiming that he had received money from players to include them in matches.
Speaking to Youm7, Tarek said: “My response is before the Attorney General. Every player and official at Bank El Ahly and across Egyptian football knows me well,” reaffirming his confidence in his honesty and professional integrity.
The controversy started when Ahmed Yasser stated on the “El Clasico” TV program with Siham Saleh on ON channel that Tarek Mostafa allegedly received money from players to participate in matches — a claim both parties have since strongly denied. ⚡
The issue continues to spark widespread discussion on social media, with fans calling for accuracy and responsibility when spreading or commenting on sensitive topics that affect players’ and coaches’ reputations.
