Hassan wants to earn Egypt berth

Ahmed Hassan is determined to earn a deserved call-up to the Egypt squad, rather than staking a claim upon the request of fans.

The Zamalek veteran is only one international match away from becoming the world’s most capped player, which prompted interim coach Hany Ramzy to include him in his young squad for recent games against Sierra Leone and Niger.

But Hassan, who scored five goals in seven games for his new club, is looking forward to retain his role as the captain of Egypt by proving himself on the pitch.

“My performance and form with Zamalek should keep me with the national team, if it happened,” the 36-year-old told FilGoal.com.

“It shouldn’t be because of people’s requests to include me. Thanks to all those who want me to be in the team to achieve a personal goal, but I believe that decision should be technical.”

Egypt assistant coach Diaa Al-Sayed indicated recently that new manager Bob Bradley does not intend to rule out veteran players in the process of rebuilding the team.

On the other hand, Hassan insisted on several occasions that he is not planning to end his Egypt career in the near future.

“We will not allow Al-Hadary to take part in the Brazil game,” Merreikh President Gamal Al-Wali was said.

“How could we give an undisciplined player the opportunity to represent his country in such a historic match? I am really surprised with the decision to recall him.

“We saved him from ending his career or getting a heavy ban after the problem he had caused with Ahli, and then what has he given us in return? Only more trouble.”

Merreikh shouldered most of the fine imposed against Al-Hadary in the wake of his infamous departure from Ahly to Sion back in 2008.
