Al-Jazira striker and the national team, Ali Mabkhout, and the historical goal of the Emirates team, sparked controversy on social networking sites after commenting on the tweet of one of the followers on Twitter, related to a press statement by the player and the national team at the 1990 World Cup and the owner of the first World Cup goal for the Emirates in the tournament.
Khaled Ismail had stated in a previous statement to "Emirates Today", that the societal culture is absent from the Gulf League players, especially the stars, despite their large media and mass base that helps them to be in the front lines in such matters.
Ismail said in his statement: “I regret to say that most of the players do not know how to stand in front of the" microphone ", or talk to the press, and this is something that both players and clubs bear responsibility for. If I were in charge at a club now, I would have decided to reduce 50% of the players’ salaries as long as they did not initiate from Taking themselves a step like this, football players do not have a "feather on their head" to be excluded from reducing their salaries, especially since they are receiving millions of dirhams annually, and currently they are sitting in their homes without training or running games and their salaries reach their accounts without any trouble.
One of the tweeters commented on this conversation on social networking site Twitter, saying: “No, we are out of two days when we don't have a job other than Khaled Ismail. Today I am the first time I know him, it was shaped by a media player,” then the striker of the national team repeated the tweet and wrote the number one “Plus” In addition, it means that he does not know the star of our former national team.
