EP: What's the latest news Amr?

AZ: "I'm going in the direction of Zamalek"

EP: But you haven't signed a contract yet?..

AZ: "No, but the two clubs have signed a deal and I'm going to Egypt tomorrow inshallah (God willing)."

EP: You'd told EP a few months ago that you "reject playing for any club in Egypt apart from ENPPI". Does this suggest that you were forced to transfer out of Lokomotiv?

AZ: "No I've not been forced out at all. I spoke to ENPPI before agreeing any deal with Zamalek and the chairman told me it's better to play in the Ahly-Zamalek game!"

EP: So you actually wanted to return to ENPPI?

AZ: "I spoke to them and they said if you are going to play in Egypt, play at Al-Ahly or Al-Zamalek, because they are the first and second clubs, and we're the third."


EP: What exactly was the reason that Lokomotiv agreed to let you go?


AZ: "I told them that I just can't adapt at all!

"And I had an old injury and had come without a medical test. This of course helped Lokomotiv agree."

EP: We're going to miss you on EP. When will you be back?


AZ: (Laughs) "Inshallah [I will]... My contract with Zamalek is three years."

EP: But are you planning to return to Europe before that?

AZ: "I'll just get back to play here though, and after that I'll be going abroad again inshallah..."
