ZED FC player Mustafa Saad Messi said he never got his chance at Al Ahly and dreams of rejoining Egypt's national team.
- Messi said he never played for Al Ahly, attributing his lack of opportunity to his young age or circumstances.
- He attributed Al Ahly's decline last season to a lack of harmony between the coach and players, not player quality.
- Messi said wearing Egypt's shirt is a big dream, crediting coach Hossam Hassan with giving chances to players like Ziko and Mahmoud Saber.
- He predicted ZED will finish in the league's top six and called Zamalek last season's best club, having won the title.
