In light of the controversy over the first... Mohamed Salah shares two new photos from the Trabzonspor match

Egyptian star Mohamed Salah published two new photos, on Monday, from his Turkish team Trabzonspor’s match against Alanya, after the controversy sparked by the photo he published on Sunday. Salah shared two photos from the match with his followers on Instagram via the “Story” feature without attaching any comments to them.

The Egyptian star sparked widespread controversy after publishing a photo after the match sticking out his tongue, which came a day after the Egyptian Federation announced the dismissal of national team coach Hossam Hassan. Salah was criticized for that photo, while others saw that the photo had nothing to do with the dismissal of Hossam Hassan and that it was just an ordinary photo related to Salah celebrating the result of the match.

This controversy comes due to unsubstantiated reports about the existence of a “disagreement” between Salah and Hossam Hassan due to Salah being replaced at the 62nd minute in the “Pharaohs” match against Angola in the last international break, which was not confirmed by any of the parties concerned. Salah left the national team camp after the Angola match, and did not participate in the Egyptian national team’s next match against South Sudan. The Egyptian Football Association attributed this in a statement to preserving Salah’s safety because the match would be played on artificial turf (tartan).

The President of the Egyptian Football Association, Hani Abu Raida, visited the national team captain in Türkiye last week. A statement from the federation said that the meeting came "to enhance the atmosphere of understanding and communication within the national team...

As part of the federation’s keenness to maintain continuous communication with the stars of the national team, Trabzonspor had won with two clean goals over Alanyaspor in a match in which the “Egyptian King” scored a goal.
