Hossam Hassan explains the truth about the dispute with Salah

Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, settled the recent controversy surrounding his relationship with Liverpool star and Pharaohs captain Mohamed Salah, stressing that the rumors of a rift between them are baseless. He pointed out that Salah has high morals and is a source of pride for all of Egypt. Hossam Hassan said in a television interview: "Mohamed Salah is my little brother or my big son. He is a source of pride for Egypt. Some wanted to drive a wedge between us, but we didn't even see each other at that time." The Egyptian national team coach added: "You shouldn't put the player and the coach in the same box. Salah is a global star with a high status, but he is extremely moral and intelligent, and deals with himself professionally and with modesty." Hossam Hassan explained that his relationship with Mohamed Salah is based on mutual respect and appreciation, and that the rumors are only aimed at disrupting the stability of the national team after its recent successes. He stressed that Salah represents a role model for an entire generation of players inside and outside Egypt. He concluded his statement by saying, "Salah is a great asset to his country, and I am proud to have him on the national team. Any attempt to drive a wedge between us will not succeed, because what unites us is our love for Egypt above all else."
