Zamalek left-back Ricardo Alves has been involved in another dispute with the Cairo giants upon his returning to training, according to his agent Osama Metri. "Ricardo was expelled from Thursday's training session by football director Ahmed Refaat for no apparent reason," the agent told FilGoal.com. Previously, the recently-reprieved wide man was fined EGP 50,000 for releasing unauthorized statements to the press, whereupon the unpleasant feud began. Later on, he was handed another $ 35,000 for showing up late in training, and getting into the infamous on-field fight with teammate Gamal Hamza. Unfair Treatment
Ricardo's future unknown Metri believes the five-time African champions are deliberately mistreating the 26-year-old. "This horrible treatment is unjustifiable. If they kept picking on him like that, I would resort to reporting the problem to the police," he said. The agent put Zamalek's aggressive attitude towards the winger down to their intention to deduct from his income. "They want to keep him on the fringes in order to reduce his dues by 25%," he added. The Brazilian player has just rejoined training with Zamalek after serving a disciplinary suspension, but apparently his saga is far from over.
