The rise of the Egyptian team to the Tokyo Olympics 2020 in the beginning of a new crisis, but this time in Liverpool, because of the conflict of the Olympics with the start of the English Premier League, as pointed out by German coach Jurgen Klopp at a press conference on Friday, where he hinted at the rejection of the idea of the Egyptian player Mohamed Salah with the Egyptian Olympic team.
The Egyptian sports street has been divided over the past two days on the decision to participate player, some of whom believe that the participation of the player is necessary, and some who do not deserve to participate in the place of any other player on the list.
Klopp pointed out that Egypt's qualification for the Olympics is a "problem" because it could mean Salah's participation in the tournament, whose timing is incompatible with the start of the next season of the Premier League.
Klopp said: "I recently discovered that the Egyptian team qualified for the Olympics, which will be a problem for us in the future, I have to talk to Mo (Salah)."
The Egyptian team managed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics a few days ago, defeating South Africa in the semi-finals of the African Nations Cup under the age of 23 years, which means the possibility of Salah among the three players allowed to participate above the age of 23 in the Olympics.
