The greatest crisis that the Egyptian team experienced, perhaps in recent years, created a controversy on the side of the pharaohs, almost abandoning the team for it, but it continued and the team did not continue in the African Cup, despite being the host the continental wedding.
Amr Warda, a player from Volos, recalls the scenes of the crisis that engulfed the pharaohs’ dreams in their favorite championship, defends himself and narrates what the atmosphere was like in the residence.
The 27-year-old left-back recounts how Manuel José persuaded him to enter the Red Castle, noting that he will not play in Egypt until Al-Ahly.
“They all had their backs turned, they all saw that the players were behind me,” says Warda during his interview with MBC Egypt, “They all saw that the players were behind me. If people see that I’m wrong, then we can forgive, everyone. We make mistakes, I am aggrieved, I apologize for what? If I made a mistake, I would apologize. Wasn’t it Amr Warda who said? ” If we had won the African Cup (2019), nobody would have remembered what happened, but in the end I endured it. “
And the former Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahly player added: “People believed what was said and criticized Mohamed Salah for being by my side. I gave him my phone to make sure. I sat in my room for 10 days, without going out. during the camp, during the games in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. Everyone was by my side, they said if Warda was leaving, because they know. ” I didn’t make a mistake, I gave them my phone number, I told them that this girl wants to leave me, why does someone want that now? ”
Ahmed Hegazy, one of the people who supported me the most in the problem, continued: “He ran to Javier Aguirre’s room (Egypt coach in the 2019 African Cup), and said that we will leave the team. Agiri said I was not wrong , There are people who want to leave the national team. I apologized until I come back and participate, not because I made a mistake. The current team is communicating with me, I am fighting to return to the national team, and I will continue to be, if I go to the national team, I will not leave my room. “
On July 6, 2019, Warda’s last participation with the Egyptian team, South Africa’s match in the semifinal round, she participated as a substitute and lost to the Pharaohs with the aim of leaving the continental championship early.
A match in which Warda would not have participated had it not been for the Egyptian Football Association withdrawing its decision to remove the player from the team’s campus. A decision made by the union after a video was broadcast to Warda on social media.
At the beginning of this season, Warda left the Greek PAOK, a surprising decision by the club, which the player explains: “Hours before the preparation period I signed the renewal of my contract for one more season, and then they called me and informed me that he was infected with the Coronavirus. I sat at home, and days later the coach called me and informed me that he was away. The team, where are the problems? Now, Pauke wants me to come back, and soon, God willing, there is an Italian or Spanish show. “
Warda participated with Volos, on loan from PAOK, in 9 games, scoring two goals and sending an assist.
And Warda added, defending himself against those who accused him of creating problems in Europe, “Our Lord will honor me, God willing. Why didn’t I get married? I focus on the ball, I’m persistent in prayer, no one will believe what I say, I swear to God that I will persevere in prayer, I will not take a photo while praying to share it with people. ” “The one that is in my heart is on my tongue. When I joke and laugh a lot, there are people who make mistakes.”
In 2011, Warda was on a date with a new stage in her football career, she left Sporting Alexandria to wear the red Al-Ahly jersey.
A transition would not be complete without brilliance in the face of the two giants Muhammad Abu Trika and Muhammad Barakat.
Warda relates: “(Manuel) José wanted to see me at the training session. I was in the youth team at the time and I was 18. Al-Ahly went and we were sitting in an office with Adli Al-Qai’i (the former club contract manager) and José came and said he would train with us. The first player I saw was Abu Trika. Then Barakat, then Wael Jumaa, I said to myself: Oh, Black Day. I participated in a training match and scored two goals and the confrontation ended 2-2.
He continued: “I was against the Abu Trika and Barakat team. I had Ahmed Shukry, Mustafa Afroto, Sherif Abdel Fadil, Wael Jumaa, Sayed Moawad and Hussam Ashour. I scored two goals against Ahmed Adel, José after training. He said he will sign with the club, I signed with Al-Ahly on January 23, 2011. ” .
Returning to Egypt, the player who participated in 30 matches with the pharaohs and scored a single goal, said: “If I go back, I will go back to Al-Ahly. If Al-Ahly does not ask me, I will stay out of Egypt. There have been negotiations previous with Al-Ahly and other Egyptian clubs “.
Warda stayed for 4 years in the Red Fort before passing to the leader of the Thug in January 2015, and after a few months he began his journey on the Old Continent from the Greek Gate of Panetolikos.
Warda participated in 124 games in the Greek League, scoring 29 goals and sending 22 assists.
He won the Greece Cup twice with PAOK.
