Ahmed Hassan, the former captain of the Egyptian national team, condemned the statements made by former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher about Mohamed Salah being racist. In an interview with the English channel Sky Sports, Carragher suggested that Salah might leave Merseyside in the upcoming year. Hassan stated that these words harm Salah's reputation and that such remarks carry a tint of racism.
Hassan emphasized that Mohamed Salah is the face of Egypt in the world and that he is a great patriot who always takes pride in his country. He also added that attacks on Salah are extremely unfair and unacceptable, especially since the footballer is the most popular sportsman in Egypt and a source of inspiration for many young people.
"We must support our talented players, not speculate on possible transfers. Salah is the most important player for Liverpool, and he does everything possible to help his team achieve success," Hassan emphasized.
