Editor-in-Chief Dr. Ezzat El Jamal Writes: Hossam Hassan Leads a Football Crisis… Between Arrogance and Politics

The Egyptian national team did not lose because Moroccan fans did not support it, but because it was technically weaker and administratively more confused.
Who supported you yesterday should not be accused today of bribery.
Football is not managed with arrogance, not won by past achievements, and not covered up by political decisions.
Admitting failure is courage, denial is collapse.
Whoever does not respect the intelligence of the public will fall before it.

Defeat Cannot Be Justified… and Arrogance Does Not Make History

The Egyptian team lost because it was technically weaker, not because Moroccan fans failed to applaud.
Football is not run by slogans, not won by history, and not saved by accusing others.

Hossam Hassan’s statements did not defend Egypt; they placed it in an unnecessary dilemma and created pointless tension.

Admitting failure is courage, lying is weakness, and using history to compensate for the present is an illusion.
Morocco today is a model of organization and presence.
Egypt is required to review itself, not attack others.
In football, as in politics, whoever refuses accountability pays the price.

When Defeat Turns into Lies

What happened was not just a lost match, but an administrative scandal, a collapse of discourse, and a moral failure.
Hossam Hassan did not only lose to Senegal; he lost to the truth, then chose to escape it through arrogance and false accusations, provoking conflict with Morocco.

Losing is possible. Defeat can happen.
But escaping defeat by blaming fans, hotels, referees

, and everyone else is not defending a team, but condemning its leadership.

Hossam Hassan’s repeated statements ignored responsibility. A national team coach is not a free individual, but a representative of a country. His words must reflect discipline, wisdom, and international awareness.

Egypt has a rich history with seven African titles, but today history does not play instead of the present. Pride in the past is not enough.

Moroccan fans openly supported Egypt against Benin, and Egypt won. The next day, Egyptian media accused Morocco of bribing referees, without evidence or apology. This is an ethical and media failure.

Attacking the audience and making empty accusations only turned the stands into an enemy. Moroccan fans later chose to support Nigeria, which is their legitimate right.

Defensive fear, chaotic press conferences, false claims about hotel conditions, and political appointment without accountability all exposed deeper problems.

Morocco, meanwhile, builds world-class stadiums, prepares for the World Cup, earns international praise, and respects fans and hospitality. Reality is built by work, not slogans.

Final Conclusion

Defeat is normal.
Admitting failure is courage.
Lying is a fall.
Politicizing sport is a disaster.
Who refuses accountability will repeat failure.
