Salah: Egyptian fans should support the entire national team, not specific players and clubs

According to the goal network, Egyptian star Salah called on Egyptian fans to support the entire national team, not a player.

Egypt first lost 0-1 to Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations group stage and then defeated Guinea-Bissau and Sudan 1-0 in two games, with Salah scoring just one goal in the second game, in contrast to his efficiency of scoring 16 goals in 20 Premier League games.

Salah, who feels fans and the media focusing too much on himself and ignoring the rest of the national team, believes it will leave Egyptian football divisive and could get worse in the future.

Ahead of the knockout match against Côte d'Ivoire, Salah said: "I am 100% happy with my team-mates and I try to apply my experience in the Premier League to the national team and contribute a little help. ”

"I think sometimes people are waiting for an opportunity to discuss Salah and other players, unfortunately we live in an era of social media where people care more about clubs and players and there's been a drop in the attention of the national team."

"It wasn't like that before, Egyptian football is now a bit divided. We've seen a lot of reports of deliberate protection of players and clubs, and maybe they think it's a good thing, but that's not the case. ”

'It doesn't help anything, you don't hurt me because I've had a lot of experiences like this, I've been playing for over a decade but you're going to hurt the young players and they're the future of the national team.'

'I'm not here to put pressure on other people, I have a piece of advice, if you think I'm successful in the Premier League, don't support just a player or a club.

'We are the Egyptian national team and in order to win the game, every player has to feel the support of the fans behind them."

"At the same time, I hope that the media can not only focus on a player, you have to talk more about the whole team, although I don't watch any shows, but the general audience will watch your shows and be affected."
