Mohamed Salah will not be participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and, after missing his penalty in the shootout against Senegal and the massive failure to lose a place in the final stage of the World Cup, he spoke a few words in the locker room that turned addressed to his teammates who for some seemed like possible dismissal from the Egyptian team. As in the final of the last African Cup, Senegal’s teammate Sadio Mané won the maximum penalty against Egypt and this time they qualified for the World Cup, thus leaving the ‘Pharaohs’.
Salah’s phrases were enlightened as the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports published the video on social networks. The Liverpool star spoke to his teammates after being eliminated from the World Cup and told them: “I am honored to have played with you, it is an honor and I am proud to play with you, whether I am or not in yours in the future “.
For some, this message from Salah, 29, was just a result of the mood of the moment, after a severe defeat in the second leg of the playoff final in Africa for the World Cup, and the star unwilling to leave the national team. For others, it’s a goodbye.
Salah qualified the ‘Pharaohs’ for the 2018 World Cup in Russia (the only Liverpool winger played) by converting a penalty that gave Egypt a decisive victory over Congo (2-1). The now Egypt captain made his national team debut at the age of 19, on September 3, 2011 in a 2-1 defeat against Sierra Leone.
