There were some pretty ugly scenes after the Senegal and Egypt match yesterday. I saw a short clip on Twitter showing Senegal fans storming onto the pitch trying to attack Salah. He also had cups and drinks thrown at him as he was leaving the pitch after the defeat. I didn't watch the match, so I don't know the reasons behind it all. Is it just due to a rivalry between the two nations or did Salah do or say anything to kind of justify such (unfair) treatment? He doesn't seem like the type to do something like that to me.
That was absolutely not called for, but likely racism because Egypts are whiltes while Senegal are blacks. But this surprised me because racism are most from whites not blacks and not common in Africa. What I am still thinking is that it was used to distract him when his country's team were on the way to the stadium, but after match, that is another thing.
Nigeria’s biggest problem in that match was the European born players. Most of them were born in other countries, they do not know what football means to us. They do not understand how there is insecurity, poverty and whatnot in the country. They did not understand that in all these things. It's football that gives us joy.
There was no urgency to win the match, they were all playing sluggishly.
Do you know what I can say about Nigeria issue, the Nigerian economy is not even good, not attractive for companies to have sufficient funds to sponsor clubs, good talents in Nigeria are buried forever because people are not interested to join clubs in Nigeria. You can see in foreign countries with good players how they have been practicing sport right from a child age, that is not happening in Nigeria.
