Salah recently said that if the Egyptian Football Association does not provide him with more protection and help in international competitions, then the president of the Football Association is required to resign.
The Liverpool player was the main focus of the fans during the international competition with Egypt, but it also led fans to knock him in the middle of the night to ask for photos and signatures.
Salah’s lawyer, Ramy Abbas Issa, said that they had previously written to the Egyptian Football Association to reflect on these issues. In a letter sent to the President of the Egyptian Football Association on August 23, lawyers accused them of treating Salah in a “shameful and odious way.” According to a letter leaked from the Egyptian Football Association and an Egyptian football website, the lawyers had a fierce dispute over the player’s personal safety and portrait rights and made a series of unusual demands. The letter clearly shows that Salah hopes that the Football Association must stop the fans from knocking on the door outside the player’s room all night, preventing the fans from approaching him during Salah training.
Salah also asked him to be accompanied by two security guards at any time. The security guards should appear outside the room at Salah. The floor should be guarded and all calls to the Salah hotel must be blocked.
Salah’s lawyer also wrote in his letter that he did not want Salah to appear in any event, interview or other occasion to promote the national team. On the International Competition Day, the Egyptian Football Association is responsible for taking Salah back to the hotel from the airport. Football Association staff members are also unable to sign and take photos with Salahsuo. The portrait of Salah cannot be used by the sponsors of the Egyptian Football Association. In order to avoid being accused of special, Salah also hopes that all members of the Egyptian team will receive such treatment.
If these requirements are not met, the lawyers claim that they will write another letter on September 2, calling on the president of the Football Association to “resign within five days of receiving the letter.” So far, the Egyptian Football Association has not responded to these problems and demands reflected by Salah, which also makes him doubtful about the future of the Egyptian national team.
The Egyptian Football Association is said to be angry with Salah’s request, but Salah said: “All of this makes me look arrogant, but I am not. We sent a lot of letters, but not to create problems.”
The letter stated that the Football Association’s previous actions did not make the striker feel “comfortable” when playing for the national team. His lawyer said that “can’t think of any country’s football association treating the players like Salah, right. Any player takes a shameful and disgusting attitude.
“In recent months, the Egyptian Football Association has caused great harm to Salah. We can’t and will not forget. Salah wants to continue to represent the national team for many years to come. He is a true patriot. Such as Thomas. – Jefferson (the third president of the United States, the main drafter of the American Declaration of Independence) said that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
The Egyptian Football Association ignored the portrait rights and contracts of the 26-year-old player before the start of the World Cup finals. Unauthorized photos of Salah were used to promote their sponsors.
Salah himself also spoke on Twitter about the Egyptian Football Association, and he said he was angry at the way the Football Association treated him.
Salah complained: “The Football Association is trying to solve the problems of the players and make them comfortable. This is normal. But in fact, what I saw is the opposite. My letter with the lawyer is ignored. It is not normal. I don’t know why these things happened. Don’t you (the Egyptian Football Association) have time to reply to us?”
Salah also revealed in a Facebook video on Monday that he only went to bed at 6 am when he went to the national team training camp. And he couldn’t go to the hotel reception because “they told me that there were too many people for security reasons.”
