“I don’t know why Bonfrere said this statement incorrect,” he added in his comments through FilGoal.com. “If it really happened, why did you keep quiet about it for so long and remember it now after 17 years?”
He continued: “We lost the league due to poor Tawfiq Gharib that we found in an interview with Enppi.”
“We missed many easy opportunities, like Gilberto and Muhammad Fadl, as well as Ahmed Bilal, the team’s top scorer, was injured,” he said.
He continued his speech saying: “There was only one opportunity for Enppi and Sayed Abdel Naeem and then he managed to record it.”
“What Bonferrer said is totally wrong,” he said.
