Goalkeeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef said that his relationship with Zamalek has reached a dead end after he was accused of being responsible for the club's Arab Champions League (ACL) elimination. Zamalek fans booed the 30-year-old after he let in two easy goals at home against Jordan's Faisali in the ACL semi-final second leg. "I'm disgusted by the fans' attitude; I have been made as a scapegoat. I will comfort all these people and leave the club," Abdul-Monsef told FilGoal.com on Thursday. "Did the players who played against Faisali deserve to win the match? Of course not, all the lines were very poor, it wasn't my fault. "I will not renew my contract; it is also difficult for me to continue playing in the Egyptian League's remaining games." The former Dina Farms guardian was never a popular figure among Zamalek's fans especially after conceding six goals against arch-rivals Ahli in the infamous derby clash in 2002. "Any keeper wouldn't have blocked these goals but unfortunately the fans couldn't forget that day." Abdul-Monsef is wondering why he is being labeled responsible for Zamalek's dismal form although the team have suffered even when he was on the bench. "Zamalek lost hopes of winning the league title and I wasn't playing, they also crashed out of the CAF Champions League, which I did not take part in, and conceded twice at home to Sudan's Hilal." Abdul-Monsef is Zamalek's only alternative between the sticks after first-choice keeper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed sustained a serious injury that ruled him out until the end of the season.
