Speaking on the “Match Box” podcast, El-Hadary said:
“I don’t welcome Zizo’s signing with Al Ahly. The club won’t benefit from this deal. At the moment, Zizo won’t perform well for Al Ahly, though maybe later he could.”
🗣️ He added: “So far, Zizo hasn’t made a real impact in the matches he’s played for Al Ahly. He only performed well in one game.”
