Nantais Mostafa Mohamed put Azeddine Ounahi in his place, after the latter criticized the Pharaons’ play.
CAN 2024 is launched and well underway. Between Morocco and Egypt, two North African rivals, hostilities even began behind the scenes. Azeddine Ounahi, the Atlas Lions midfielder, and Mostafa Mohamed, the Pharaons striker, bickered through the media.
Mostafa and Egypt hit in their pride
Ounahi was the first to launch hostilities by decrying the minimalist game of the Egyptian selection. “Egypt, which has won seven CANs, does not produce a great game, but it is a team that manages. You can dominate, but they can score the 1-0 goal from a set piece and then a player falls to the right, then another to the left…”
Obviously, this provocation could not go unanswered. And so it was Mostafa, another resident of Ligue 1, who took it upon himself to defend the honor of the Egyptians. “I did not follow what Azzedine Ounahi said. We have won 7 CAN, I invite him to play like us and win trophies. »
Morocco and Egypt are not opposed during the 1er CAN tower. On the other hand, they could cross paths in the round of 16 if each of the two selections finished second in their group. This will augur a most electric showdown.
