The prominent Egyptian star Mohamed Salah did not take long to express his stance on the significant victory achieved by Al-Ahly over Zamalek, winning 5-3 in the third round of the Egyptian League. The Liverpool and Premier League top scorer posted a video on his official Instagram account that stirred controversy due to its nature and timing. Shortly after the match ended, he shared a clip showing dense fireworks and festive atmosphere.
It seems that the reason for posting this video was Mohamed Salah's desire to refute claims made by former Zamalek star Khaled El-Ghandour and others, who have long claimed that Salah has supported Zamalek since childhood, follows all of their matches in various competitions, and is often saddened by Zamalek's losses. Khaled El-Ghandour mentioned that Mohamed watched the last final of the African Champions League between Al-Ahly and Zamalek, which Al-Ahly won 2-1, and that Salah was very upset by Zamalek's defeat to Al-Ahly.
The Egyptian star preferred to respond to these assertions and everything that has been said about him in recent times concerning his affiliations. He decided to publish the celebratory video immediately after Al-Ahly's victory, so that no one could claim to speak on his behalf regarding the team he supports in the future.
Some believed that the celebratory video shared by Mohamed Salah was a sign of reaching an agreement with Liverpool's management regarding the renewal of his contract after a long series of negotiations. However, there has not yet been an official announcement about reaching a happy conclusion for a final agreement, which indicates that Salah's intent in posting the video was to send a clear message regarding his position on Al-Ahly and Zamalek.
