Following Egypt's exit at the hands of Algeria after Sudan's play-off, striker Mohamed Zidan blasted Bundesliga's defender Antar Yehia after the latter insulted his mother during the match. However, Egyptian Zidan didn't lose his temper as his French/Algerian counterpart Zidane who headbutted Italy's defender Materazzi following verbal taunts from the Italian player.

Egyptian striker Zidan blasted Algerian players for their unsporting behaviour in the play off match in Sudan. The 27 year old forward claimed that the Algerians intended to terrorize Egyptian players on and off the field.

"They intended to harm us with agressive play. They wanted to win by any mean" Zidan said.

"Their defender Antar Yehia plays in the Bundesliga and I know him well. He said a very bad insult to my mother in German language. I didn't want to get into side fights though and lose my concentration in the game".

It should be noted that the French Zidane headbutted Italy's defender Materazzi in World Cup final in 2006 resulting in him getting sent off following the incident.


Zidan continued to blast the Algerian terrorism by revealing that both of him and Hadary received murder threats through SMS and calls.

"I received many SMS messages on my mobile and phone calls from fanatic Algerian supporters threatning me and El Hadary to be murdered".

More on Zidan soon....
