The Whites' pre-season goalless draw with Wadi Degla at Railways Stadium was overshadowed by some mocking chants towards the Egypt number one from the stands.

Even though Al-Hadari started in goal, Zamalek fans kept chanting the name of skipper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, obviously ignoring the former on purpose.

Al-Hadari will not play for Zamalek before 2011 as he has a four-month ban to serve, following his infamous departure from Ahli to Sion in 2008.

However, a fierce competition is expected between the 37-year-old and his Egypt deputy Al-Sayed in the second half of next season.
