It has been claimed that a disagreement has arisen between Trabzonspor's world-famous star Mohamed Salah and Egypt National Team Technical Director Hossam Hassan. It was alleged that the Egyptian Football Association has stepped in to resolve the dispute, which is said to have emerged due to decisions made in national team matches, and is considering sending a special delegation to Trabzon.
Mohamed Salah, whom Trabzonspor signed from Liverpool at the start of the season, has now come to the fore with developments in the national team. It was claimed that the 34-year-old star footballer, who serves as captain of the Egyptian national team, had a problem in his relationship with head coach Hossam Hassan.
EGYPTIAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION STEPPED IN
According to information conveyed by Egyptian media professor Dr. Mohammed Tharwat, the Egyptian Football Association took action to resolve the alleged dispute between Salah and Hossam Hassan. It was stated that the federation was considering sending a special delegation to Turkey to meet directly with the star footballer playing in Trabzon.
If the meeting takes place, Salah's situation in the national team and the alleged problems he has experienced with the technical staff are expected to be discussed.
FEDERATION PRESIDENT ALSO JOINED THE PROCESS
According to the claim, Egyptian Football Association President Hani Abu Rida and official Mustafa Azzam are also involved in efforts to resolve the dispute between the parties. It was stated that the federation management wanted to strengthen communication between Salah, one of the national team's important figures, and head coach Hossam Hassan.
However, it has not yet been clarified who will make up the delegation planned to be sent to Trabzon and when the visit will take place. No official decision on the matter has been announced by the federation either.
THE REASON FOR THE CRISIS: TECHNICAL PREFERENCES
It was claimed that the disagreement between Salah and Hossam Hassan stemmed from the technical choices made in the Egyptian national team's recent matches. In particular, it was alleged that Mohamed Salah's substitution in the Angola match was among the developments that triggered the dispute. The decisions made before the South Sudan match were another topic of discussion. Salah being rested in that match due to the artificial turf surface, and then playing in Trabzonspor's European match, which was also played on artificial turf, had once again become a matter of debate.
CRITICISM OF HOSSAM HASSAN'S DECISION
Dr. Mohammed Tharwat drew attention to the importance of Salah for the Egyptian national team and criticized head coach Hossam Hassan's substitution decisions. Stating that Salah has the abilities to change the outcome of a match, Tharwat argued that it was not right for the star footballer to be taken off in critical parts of matches. The Egyptian professor expressed the view that the national team should make more use of Salah's talents.
EYES TURNED TO TRABZON
The Egyptian Football Association's possible visit to Trabzon is important for the star footballer's future in the national team. It is awaited with curiosity whether a meeting will be held between the parties and how the alleged dispute will be resolved. So far, no official confirmation has been made regarding the dispute between Mohamed Salah and Hossam Hassan or the sending of a special delegation to Trabzon.
