📢 Osama Hassan Explains His Position on Al Ahly
Former Zamalek star Osama Hassan has spoken about his recent dispute with former Al Ahly star Rabie Yassin, amid a controversy linked to the “Malaab El Baldozer” program that reportedly resulted in the suspension of its broadcast.
In a video posted on his personal page, Hassan stressed that he would never deliberately insult Al Ahly Club, emphasizing his respect for the club’s history, titles and large fan base.
🏆 “Al Ahly Is a Big Club”
Hassan said he could never speak in a way that would insult Al Ahly as an institution, explaining that his criticism is directed toward the team’s football performance, sporting structure and transfers, rather than the club itself.
He added that his comments about Al Ahly are made from a football analysis perspective and that he has previously criticized the team’s performances without intending to diminish the club’s status or history.
🗣️ Details of the Dispute With Rabie Yassin
Hassan also discussed the dispute with Rabie Yassin, explaining that the disagreement included a football discussion over Al Ahly’s chances of winning the league.
He referred to comments made by Yassin regarding Al Ahly winning the title and said he responded with a challenge, adding that his remarks were related strictly to the team’s technical performance.
🤝 “I Cannot Respond to Rabie Yassin”
The former Zamalek player said that despite what he described as offensive remarks directed toward him during the dispute, he would not respond in the same manner because of his respect for Rabie Yassin and his standing in Egyptian football.
Hassan described Yassin as an important football figure and said he considered it an honor to sit with him and former Egypt international Magdy Abdel Ghany, emphasizing the importance of respecting older and more experienced figures.
⚽ Football Criticism Is Different From Insulting a Club
Hassan concluded by stressing that he has the right to criticize coaches, players and football performances, but does not believe such criticism should turn into an insult against a club or its identity.
He maintained that discussions involving Al Ahly and Zamalek should remain within the framework of football analysis, noting that differences over teams, transfers and coaches do not necessarily mean disrespect toward the clubs themselves.
📢 Hassan’s comments provide his account of the dispute with Rabie Yassin, while the broader discussion over the limits of football criticism and how it should be expressed continues across Egyptian sports programs.
