"We are facing a vicious war, whether from the media or our opponents who are trying to convince us that the competition (Egyptian Premier League) is over," the towering player told Zamlek's official site.

"I talked to my teammates about this and I have been warning them of the psychological war since my Zamalek return."

Mido joined Zamalek for the third time in the winter transfer window from Ajax but was ruled out of action due to a registration error in the wake of Egypt's Jaunary-25 Revolution.

The Cairo giants are on top of the league table on 46 points, with title holders and arch-rivals Ahli keeping pace with them.
