Audio: Agogo claims Zamalek 'nightmare'
Published in FilGoal on 18 - 02 - 2009

Zamalek's outcast Junior Agogo branded the club's handling of his problem as a nightmare.
The Ghanaian striker got into hot water with Zamalek board about skipping several training sessions without excuse.
He was left out of Zamalek's squad for two successive Egyptian Premier League games against Ittihad and Masri.
But Agogo, who joined the Cairo giants from Nottingham Forest last summer, has yet to learn the exact mistakes he committed.
"I've been fined $200,000 for a breach of club rules but they haven't given me a reason for that and they gave me no warning," he told BBC Sport on Tuesday.
"I've been deducted significant amounts of money, that doesn't happen even in Europe. But I'm trying to get over that and perform well for Zamalek.
"My teammates have been wonderful with me, the fans have been great with me but on a management level it has been an absolute nightmare."
Communication System
Agogo, 29, said he didn't know who was responsible of solving his problem with the crisis-hit Zamalek.
He unintentionally highlighted an aspect that has long blighted Zamalek – the administrative instability and lack of a communication system between the players, technical staff and board.
"I don't really know who is managing the team. I've had several meetings with different board members who said they would resolve my issue."
"Days, weeks and months passed and nothing has been done. And when I talk to a different board member I have to start all over again.
"I finally, with my personal manager, reported these incidents to the Egyptian FA three weeks ago but I'm still waiting as nothing has been done," he added.
Agogo, who was heavily criticized by media for his alleged partying lifestyle, has scored four goals for Zamalek in all competitions so far this season.
