EXPOSED! See Why Salah Did Not Play Well In The 2018 World Cup
Posted by E.L.E.X on April 29 2020 under Sports
Mohamed Salah did not play to his best at the 2018 World Cup because he had fought with the Egyptian Football Association president over the use of his image rights, according to a former senior sporting official in the country.
Liverpool forward Salah was tipped to star at the tournament in Russia but struggled as Egypt crashed to three defeats against Uruguay, Russia and Saudi Arabia, and were eliminated at the group stage.
Hazem Emam, a former member of the Egyptian FA, believes this was down to Salah falling out with the national association and its former president, Hani Abu Reeda.
Emam said the trouble began when Salah appeared in a team photo on Egypt’s official plane, provided by official sponsor WE – however, the player had a sponsorship deal with a rival telecommunications company, Vodafone.
Salah’s agent said they were not contacted about the use of the player’s image, and the forward addressed the issue himself on Twitter, writing:
“Sorry but this is a major insult. I was hoping the deal would be classier than this.”
Speaking to Egyptian television channel OnTime Sports, Emam said:
“Mohamed Salah had a disagreement with the former president of the federation, Hani Abu Reeda.
“We should have asked Salah before using his image on the national team’s aeroplane before the World Cup, that was the beginning of the whole problem”.
“This disagreement had a bad influence on Salah during the World Cup. As a result. he did not celebrate his goals”.
