Recently, there have been rumors that
Egypt
Star Mohamed Salah sparked widespread concern when he refused to come off the pitch in the World Cup. In response, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) quickly responded, denying the claims.
Egypt drew 1-1 with Guinea-Bissau in a World Cup match early this morning. Salah scored the equalizer in the 70th minute of the match. However, rumors surfaced after the match that Salah refused to be substituted after the goal. At the time, there were two players on the Egyptian bench warming up for the game, but only one ended up coming on as a substitute, while the other returned to the bench.
Many believe that the player who did not play was supposed to replace Salah, but Salah rejected the arrangement. In response to the rumors, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) issued a statement saying that the claims were baseless and claimed that the coaching staff had never intended to replace Salah in the first place.
The Egyptian Football Association emphasized in a statement that Salah is an important core of the team, the coaching staff has a clear tactical arrangement in the game, and there is no plan to replace him at that time. This rumor is purely a misunderstanding, and I hope that the majority of fans and the media will not be blackmail, continue to support the Egyptian national team.
