The decision to substitute Salah and Hitham Hassan has sparked outrage among fans and players, with many questioning the coach's strategy. Sources close to the team have revealed that the players were surprised by the early substitutions, as Salah and Hitham Hassan were the team's main attacking threats. The team's manager, Ibrahim Hassan, had reportedly advised Hossam Hassan to keep the duo on the field for longer, but his advice was ignored.
