CAIRO: Mohamed Abdullah believes his switch to Zamalek will boost his chances of earning a place on the Egypt squad.
The right-back moved to Zamalek from Konyaspor and is determined to make up for the disappointing spell he had with the Turkish side.
I chose Zamalek because they will give me the chance to feature on a regular basis. This can help me join the national team, Abdullah told FilGoal.com on Wednesday.
Abdullah has been linked with a move back to Ahli but he opted to join their rivals, recalling some bad memories with the Red Devils .
The 26-year-old was consistently snubbed by Ahli coach Manuel Jose and failed to make an impact after joining from Ismaili.
If I join Ahli I will not play, just like what happened last season.
