The Egyptian player and the Liverpool team, Mohamed Salah, deleted his status as a player in the ranks of the Pharaohs team from his definition through his personal account on the social networking site Twitter, less than a day after the ceremony of the best player in the world in which the Egyptian player ranked fourth in the world where the vote showed Media Egypt went to Senegalese player Sadio Mane.

Salah knew himself by his Twitter account as a "football player in the Liverpool and Egypt team", before he was content to write only "the player of the Liverpool team", after deleting the word Egypt.

Former FIFA coach Javier Aguirre and captain Ahmed al-Mohammadi have not been voted by the international federation because their nominations did not arrive on time, wasting Salah 10 full points if he puts the pair in first place.

Following this situation, the Egyptian player responded to this position by posting a picture on his official account on the communication sites with his personal image and wearing a shirt showing the Egyptian public. The player said in his comment, whatever they tried to change my love Leaky and people do not know »

Salah was fourth in the FIFA World Player of the Year award, behind third-placed Cristiano Ronaldo, third-seeded Dutchman Virgil van Dijk and winner Lionel Messi.
