Administrative manager of Egypt’s football Zamalek team Hamada Anwar expressed his resentment over the complaint submitted by Nigeria’s Rangers against the participation of player Hossam Paolo during the first leg of Round 32 of African Champions League on Sunday, as the player is registered in Smouha’s African list for the current season.
He said that the complaint aims to distract the attention of the players from the match of the second leg scheduled to be held on Sunday, saying that the complaint is considered violation against the CAF, as it allowed the participation of the player not Zamalek.
He clarified that the player participated in the match after the CAF’s decision to allow the player to participate in the match upon the authenticity of measures taken by the Egyptian team to register him. He added that Paolo has not participated with Smouha during any African match this season so he has the right to participate with Zamalek.
