CAIRO: Zamalek football director Ahmed Refaat urges true supporters to stand by the team as he criticized the fans attitude towards players.
The White s fans invaded the pitch in protest prior to Sunday s friendly game with third division Badrasheen, which ignited a row with the players.
The true fans of Zamalek should stand behind us in times of difficulty. They should back the players instead of fighting, Refaat told Filgoal.com.
We understand the fury of the supporters, but I doubt that that those are our true fans.
We need support in the upcoming period because we have some important games to come, he added.
Zamalek s elimination from the CAF Champions League was upsetting for its fans, but the crisis escalated after the recent league defeat to Olympic.
Reiner Hollmann s team was embarrassingly beaten 3-1 at home by the Alexandrian minnows.
