In a phone call with Al-Hayat TV, Elmohamady spoke about his new life at the KC Stadium and how the club's Egyptian owners are thinking. “He (Mr. Allam) is a very ambitious man.

That's his only concern regarding this issue. “He is a good follower of Egyptian football.

So I am playing as a winger in the midfield of four."
