Actor Ahmed El-Sakka spoke for the first time about the controversy surrounding his video supporting Mohamed Salah, captain of Egypt’s national team and Liverpool FC star ⚽✨.

In a phone interview with the program “El Hekaya”, El-Sakka explained that the video was purely humanely motivated, saying: “I was on my way to a wedding when I saw a picture of Salah crying. I felt very sad. Salah is like a brother to me, so I made a support video because most support messages are just a few words or pictures” 💖📸.

He added that he was shocked by the personal attacks on him and his family, stating: “It was hard for me, and I was even more upset that Mohamed Salah himself was insulted. I don’t understand why people reacted that way” ⚡💬.

El-Sakka said the attacks lasted about 6–7 hours and noted he could have filed a report with cybercrime authorities but chose forgiveness: “Filing a report could have harmed many people, most of them young. I decided to forgive, we need better behavior” 🌸🤝.

Regarding the English version of the video, he said: “After the Arabic video, I made one in English, which reached over 6 million views in 6 hours. I don’t know why it was removed” 🎬🌍.

He clarified that he did not delete the video himself, adding: “I did not remove the video about Mohamed Salah, but it disappeared from my Instagram and Facebook account like it did for you” 💻⚡.

El-Sakka concluded by saying he entered a new territory, wishing all Arab stars success in the Premier League, especially Mohamed Salah, noting that the word ‘coach’ he used caused part of the controversy 🎤⚽.

Fixed Ending:
True support is not about words but about sincerity and good intentions 💖⚽✨.
