He continued, “The last injury was a severe blow, not only to my body, but to my soul as well. But this is football, and this is life. I had hoped to continue defending this logo, but every story has an end, even if it wasn’t the way we had hoped.
“I thank the club’s management, the technical and medical staff, all the workers, and everyone who believed in me and stood by me. I also thank my teammates who were a true support on and off the field, and most importantly, I thank the great Zamalek fans… You are the spirit and the motivation, and I will never forget your cheers, your support, and your presence at every moment.”
