Mohamed Salah told his Egyptian colleagues and officials that he is contemplating to retire from international football because he is upset that the team is being used to as publicity figure for the Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya who's name is Ramzan Kadyrov.
Two close friends of Salah said on the condition of privacy that this star player is angry with the behavior of Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov who organized a dinner for the team. Kadyrov used this opportunity to give Salah "honorary citizenship".
Kadyrov is accused of violating human rights. Egyptian Football Federation spokesman Osama Ismail said that Salah had not complained to the federation. He said, what Salah writes on his Twitter account should be considered correct. This has made Mohammad Salah angrier and might result in his retirement from the international football matches.
Recently, Egypt's journey in the FIFA World Cup ended a very disappointing way. In the last league match played in Group A, he suffered 1-2 in the hands of Saudi Arabia, from which he remained fourth in the four teams' group. Both goals were made in the first and second half innings time by Saudi Arabia.
