📢 Younes: Uniting everyone is difficult but possible
In a message posted on his official X account, Younes called on Abou Rida to help reunite the different sides, calm tensions and bridge differences.
The former Zamalek player also stressed the importance of recognizing Mohamed Salah’s enormous value to Egyptian football while supporting Hossam Hassan in dealing with the challenges surrounding the national team.

Mental preparation has become increasingly important in modern football, particularly for national teams facing intense media attention, public expectations and pressure during major competitions.
🔥 Multiple issues need to be contained
Younes’ comments come amid discussions surrounding several issues involving the Egypt national team, prompting his call for the various sides to avoid allowing disagreements to grow.
From his perspective, the main objective should be to restore calm within the national team and bring together officials, coaching staff and players so that everyone can focus on performances on the pitch.
🏆 Egypt need stability ahead of upcoming fixtures
With more international commitments ahead, creating a stable environment around the national team remains an important objective.
According to the approach suggested by Younes, the Egyptian FA can play a key role in managing disagreements, supporting the coaching staff and maintaining unity within the squad while making the most of experienced players such as Mohamed Salah.
