Mohamed Salah and Personal Security: Anger in Egyptian Streets

It seems that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is in a "predicament." A scene of him with two personal bodyguards after the match against Gabon on Tuesday, in the African qualifying rounds for the 2022 World Cup, has angered some social media users. In detail, Salah appeared at Borg El Arab Stadium in Egypt after the match between the Egyptian national team and its Gabonese counterpart with personal security, which upset some fans in his country. Fans compared the Liverpool star and the Egyptian national team player with several global stars such as Argentine Lionel Messi, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazilian Neymar, and French Kylian Mbappe, demanding that he get rid of them if he is in Egypt among his family and fans. It is worth noting that the Egyptian Football Association provides personal security for Mohamed Salah during matches played by the national team, whether in Egypt or abroad. Egypt defeated Gabon with a score of two goals to one in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
