The star of the Egyptian national team and the English Liverpool team was subjected to criticism, as his injury was questioned during Egypt’s match with Ghana in the group stage of the African Cup of Nations finals.

While Salah’s injury was a blow to the Egyptian national team in its quest to move to the next round of the African Championship, with him leaving the field after a mediocre first half, the Pharaohs succeeded in the second half by providing a strong performance, so that the match ended in a positive draw with two goals for each team, in the match that took place the day before yesterday. .

Saeed explained, saying: “Salah’s injury is strange. Does Salah see himself as superior to the Egyptian national team? Does he see that his ambition is in Liverpool? Did Salah see that things are not going well with him? Did he see that Ghanaian players were dealing with excessive violence and that this might expose him to injury?” ?

Saeed said that he did the same thing that Salah did when he was playing with the national team, noting that he did that when he avoided penalty kicks in the tournament final in 2006.

Ibrahim Saeed pointed out that Mohamed Salah requested a change even before waiting for the therapist to reveal his injury, and compared Salah with Senegalese star Sadio Mane, noting that the latter fights more than Salah, as he succeeded in scoring a goal against Cameroon in the last moments of the match.

Saeed directed his words to Salah and said, “Anyone who does not like the national team, bye.”

He accused Salah of not being up to the responsibility and asked him to give up the captaincy of the national team.

The former star praised the local players in the Egyptian national team, after Salah left the field, noting that their performance was wonderful.

The Egyptian Football Association announced the absence of Mohamed Salah, captain of the national team, from the upcoming match against Cape Verde in the African Cup of Nations currently being held in Côte d’Ivoire due to injury.
