The truth about a crisis between Ali Maher and Mohamed Salah

Ahmed Shobair has clarified that there are efforts to create a rift and escalate tensions between Egypt star Mohamed Salah and the new Pharaohs coach Ali Maher. These attempts have come as an exploitation of the recent statements made by the coach regarding the national team's captain.

Ahmad Shobair stated in radio comments on ON Sport Radio: "Some are trying to drive a wedge between Ali Maher and Mohamed Salah, which was evident when a journalist directed a question to Ali Maher regarding the captain of the Egypt national team."

He added: "I don't know what the benefit is of raising this issue, as there is a time and place for everything, but we in Egypt are masters at taking words out of context."

Shobeir confirmed that Ali Maher's statements regarding Mohamed Salah were not offensive, highlighting the new national team coach's praise for the Pharaohs' captain and affirming his significant place in the history of Egyptian football.
