“It’s disgraceful and it doesn’t represent our Egyptian fans” – Official supporters group issues support to Liverpool star

The fall-out from our 2-1 win over Tottenham continues as the Official Liverpool Supporters Club of Egypt have come out in support of Sadio Mane.

The Daily Star reports that some Egyptians fans were upset at Mane having a pop at the goal rather than passing to Mohamed Salah

Although we ran out winners last weekend, the report adds that a number of fans posted abusive comments on an image shared by Mane on Instagram.

Mane then deleted the image and Khalid Yousif, the president of the supporters club, was quoted by the Liverpool Echo (h/t Daily Star) saying:

“They are horrible, horrible comments.

“It’s disgraceful and it doesn’t represent our Egyptian fans.

“We and the supporters’ club in Egypt made an appreciation post for him.

“We sent him a lot of messages on his Facebook account and we made a post for him.”

The president added that they love Mane even though Salah is the “Egyptian King”.

“The people were very supportive to him, it’s a great touch. We love you Sadio, we don’t care about the abuse.

“Yes we love Mo, the Egyptian king. He is our superstar, our hero here in Egypt.

Yousif ended by claiming that he couldn’t imagine a Liverpool team without Mane. The Reds continued their winning run as they beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League too.
