Shobeir: Attempts to sow discord between Mohamed Salah and Ali Maher

Broadcaster Ahmed Shobeir said some people are trying to stir up discord between Mohamed Salah, a player for Egypt and Trabzonspor, and national team coach Ali Maher, following a question put to Maher about the national team captain.

Shobeir added in radio remarks that Maher described Salah as the best thing to have happened to Egyptian football, criticizing the remarks being taken out of context. The Football Association had appointed Maher to replace the previous coaching staff led by Hossam Hassan, while the national team was preparing to face Malawi in the Africa Cup qualifiers.
