The Egyptian national team will host Togo in the third round on November 14 and then fly to face Togo in the fourth round on November 17.
Despite the suspension of the international activity of the Egyptian team for a year, the coaching staff of the Egyptian team did not decide on the leadership shield, so it reappeared in the media and caused great controversy in recent days.
The reluctance of the national team to reveal the final position of the national “captaincy”, and the announcement of an official decision “whatever” increases the state of controversy and tension, and can make the team’s stability vibrate with the generation current, which has yet to come out of the 2019 African nations tragedy especially after a draw with Kenya and Comoros in the African qualifiers and without delivering an outstanding performance for the pharaohs.
And it has become mandatory for the current coaching staff to decide on this matter and to publicize the system that will follow it in all the camps throughout the period of existence of the current body until the debate around each team meeting is completely finished.
The crisis of the national team’s “leadership badge” dates back to last year and since leaks emerged indicating the desire of the coaching staff, led by Hussam Al-Badri, to award the leadership badge to Mohamed Salah and change the system of “antiquity”.
Hossam Al-Badri, the coach of the Egyptian national team, said in previous statements to Al-Hadath channel: “The captaincy is not a requirement based on seniority or stardom, but it has standards, and must be managed consciously.”
Al-Badri indicated that the best for the Egyptian team in terms of “captain of the national team” is being studied according to the public interest and not personal interest, with an emphasis on having dialogue with the great players.
In the period before Al-Badri decided the matter, Yallakora learned from a responsible source the details of the session of Mohamed Barakat, the head of the national team, and Ahmed Fathy at that time, regarding the request to resign. to the captaincy of the national team in favor of Mohamed Salah.
The source noted that Fathi rejected Barakat’s application despite the distinctive relationship between the Al-Ahly player and Salah, but Fathi believes that he has more right to the captaincy of the national team, especially after his career with the ” pharaohs “.
The crisis of the “captain’s armband” crossed the Egyptian borders and spread to many of the main European newspapers, especially since it is not the first crisis that links the name of Mohamed Salah with the Egyptian Football Association and the coaching staff of the national team. national.
The British newspaper “Mirror” spoke of the crisis, and considered that the Egyptian Federation wants to present a “tacit apology” to the Liverpool star for the administrative error that deprived him of the votes of Egypt, “the coach and captain of the national team “in the vote for the best player in the world for the” The Best “award presented by the Federation. International soccer.
For its part, the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” spoke about the crisis, describing Saddam Salah with Egyptian officials as endless, and considered the shield crisis with Fathi as a new chapter in that series.
Al-Badri returned at the end of October last year, ending the debate on this matter, saying in remarks to “On Sport” at the time: “I am responsible for awarding the leadership badge, Al-Muhammadi was the leader of Egypt in the African nations, but it was not with us in the past or in the next camp. ” .
He added: “I prefer that the team captain is always on the field. Fathi has not been with the national team for a year, and here I had to think about who would be the captain. I do not want efforts on Ahmed Fathy or Mohamed Salah, the oldest in the field will be the leader. “
Fathi’s first reaction to this matter was “Praise God. The crisis ended before it started. In difficult situations we leave things to God and he chooses the good for us. Everything in this world is good for you, so you may suffer and this matter will do you good. “
International activity was stopped for a long time due to the Corona pandemic, and we waited a year until we saw a meeting of our national team again, for a responsible source in the coaching staff to declare that the current camp will continue to be the insignia of leadership of the “seniority” system, provided the matter is reviewed by the coaching staff later.
According to the current roster, Abdullah Al-Saeed becomes the captain of the Egyptian national team, followed by Ahmed Hegazy, then Mohamed Al-Nani and then Mohamed Salah.
Fathi came in the last hours to confirm what had been circulated earlier and told MBC Egypt, saying: “I was actually offered the order to resign from the national team captaincy, but I refused. I will not reveal who sat with me. and the details, only the matter was presented to me and it was rejected. ” “.
He stressed: “I also know that Hijazi disagrees with this matter, as does Muhammad Al-Nani. I did not speak to Abdullah Al-Saeed about his position on this matter.”
Fathi went on to talk about another matter related to exporting him a crisis that would not have happened if there was another player in his place, giving an example of Muhammad Aboutrika, hinting that he felt the coaching staff would not choose him from the camp roster. November, which is what happened.
And Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool player, appeared days before joining the national field, which may witness his first official appearance with the pharaohs under the leadership of Al-Badri, to speak publicly on the issue of the captaincy of the Egyptian team for the first time.
Salah said in his television interview with “BN Sports” “I am one of the captains of the Egyptian team, and that gives me confidence, to get the badge of the national team (I will laugh tonight)”.
“Ultimately, the decision is up to the coach and the duo, Abdullah Al-Saeed and Ahmed Fathy. They are my friends and I speak with them regularly, but I do not want to interfere in this matter,” he concluded.
