Carrasco Under Fire After Al-Shabab's Loss to Al-Ittihad

Wednesday 02-04-2025
Sports critic Abdulaziz Al-Zalal sarcastically commented on Belgian player Yannick Carrasco's behavior after his team Al-Shabab lost to Al-Ittihad in the King’s Cup semi-final. Al-Zalal harshly criticized the player for his actions during the post-match press conference.

Al-Zalal stated that Carrasco was preoccupied during the press conference with showing clips from the match on his phone, which made him seem more like a promoter for his phone rather than focusing on the match details, leaving the attendees puzzled.

In an unexpected moment, Carrasco asked the journalists to review the match clips on their phones after the defeat. This behavior led Al-Zalal to question the player's ability to handle match results and express his emotions professionally.

The match between Al-Shabab and Al-Ittihad ended with the latter winning 3-2. Fabinho Tavares scored a penalty goal in the 14th minute, while Danilo Heitor added two goals in the 90+2 and 90+9 minutes.

Despite Cristian Guanca scoring two goals in the 64th and 67th minutes, Al-Shabab could not avoid defeat against Al-Ittihad. However, Guanca's performance highlighted some positives for the team despite the loss.

Carrasco's actions sparked controversy after the match, but it seems that the media and fans' response to this behavior will be the talk of the coming hours. Will this affect his future with the team?
