"I am actually pleased (to have not been called up)," said Zidan to BT, ironically a Danish newspaper.

"They (the national team) are simply too unprofessional for me."

Regarding not showing up after Christmas, he added, "They sent a fax to Mainz on the 23rd of December, when everybody knows that the whole of Europe is on holiday. They should have done it a long time before that if they were interested in me.

"They have travelled to Tottenham and talked to Mido, but they didn't visit me.

"I play for a big club in a big league and deserve that they also visit me."

He also added that Hassan Shehata hasn't been getting along with him, as he had stated about Marco Tardelli. "The Egyptian head coach has not treated me well, and the whole thing is just unprofessional," concluded the Mainz striker.


Such comments add to the Zidan national team saga, which looked to have ended when he finally put on the red shirt a few months ago. Some will argue that it was clear from the start that Zizou just wasn't keen on representing Egypt.
