Ali Mahmoud comments on his exit from the match against Al Mokawloon

Ali Mahmoud, a player for Al Ahly, has clarified the controversial scene where he appeared angry with his coach Al-Hussein Ammouta at the moment of his substitution in the match against Al-Mokawloon Al-Arab yesterday, Wednesday.

Ali Mahmoud, a player for Al Ahly, wrote on his Instagram story: "The situation with captain Hussein Ammouta is completely different from what people are saying. The truth is, when I left the pitch, I was upset and annoyed. I wanted to continue and help my teammates so we could win."

He continued: "The man noticed that I was upset a bit too much... so he wanted to admonish me passionately on the basis that we are all one family. At the same time, the atmosphere was tense and we all wanted to win. Everything he said was about how we all need to think about the team, not about ourselves... He said it in an enthusiastic way, like a father directing his son a bit too much. And the matter ended right there and then."

"And honestly, the man is very respectful. I never felt that he was overstepping or belittling anyone. But unfortunately, people focused on the appearance. They don't know the truth. For those who don't know, this man is very respectful."
