Jamal Abdelhamid: Mohamed Salah deserves appreciation from Egypt

Former Zamalek star Jamal Abdelhamid said Mohamed Salah deserves appreciation from Egypt’s national team, saying the player’s achievements mean the team should celebrate him. His comments came amid debate over a photo of Salah after the match in Trabzon.

Abdelhamid said interpretations of Salah’s photo differ depending on each person’s attitude toward him. He also said football championships have the greatest impact on fans, explaining that winning a football league title can overshadow achievements in indoor sports.

He added that Hossam Hassan has achieved success with Egypt’s national team, but said coaching the national team is better than any offer Hassan might receive in the coming period.
