🧤 Fares Praises El Shenawy’s Recent Conduct

Media personality Mohamed Fares said Mohamed El Shenawy’s recent actions with the Egypt national team should be viewed positively, arguing that the goalkeeper handled several difficult situations professionally.

Fares pointed to El Shenawy’s behavior both during the World Cup and after his omission from Egypt’s latest squad as examples of what he described as a professional approach.

🇪🇬 Supporting Mostafa Shobier Despite Not Starting

Fares noted that El Shenawy remained on the bench during the match against Iran as Mostafa Shobier started, without making any public objection to the decision.

He also highlighted El Shenawy’s support for Shobier during the match against Australia, saying the Al Ahly goalkeeper was seen helping his teammate warm up before the game.

During the penalty shootout, El Shenawy also appeared from outside the pitch giving Shobier advice and guidance.

According to Fares, these moments reflected El Shenawy’s support for both the national team and his teammate regardless of his own playing status.

📢 No Negative Comments After the Tournament

Fares also pointed out that El Shenawy did not make any negative public statements after the tournament regarding his lack of participation or his relationship with the coaching staff.

He added that the goalkeeper did not publish any hints or messages on social media that could be interpreted as criticism of the decisions made against him.

Fares said the same approach continued after Egypt announced its latest squad, which did not include El Shenawy without explicitly stating in the announcement that his absence was due to injury.

⭐ Mostafa Shobier Has Spoken About El Shenawy’s Influence

Mohamed Fares also referred to comments made by Mostafa Shobier on several occasions about El Shenawy’s influence on his career.

Shobier has spoken about learning from the experienced goalkeeper and benefiting from his guidance, according to Fares.

The media personality believes Shobier’s comments, together with El Shenawy’s behavior, offer a clear picture of the relationship between the two goalkeepers.

🔥 Fares: The Actions Speak for Themselves

Fares concluded by saying that El Shenawy’s handling of losing his starting opportunity and subsequently being left out of the latest squad represents a series of real situations that, in his view, do not require additional justification or defense.

His comments come amid continued discussion about Mohamed El Shenawy’s position within the Egypt national team and his prospects under the coaching staff in the next stage.
