رونالدو وسالم بين الدفاع والهجوم..!

Salem Al-Dosari is an extension of Sami Al-Jaber; names and stages change, but the direction remains the same...!!!

There is criticism that is acceptable and cannot be overlooked, but there is also a grudge that haunts Salem Al-Dosari just as it did with Sami Al-Jaber. The reasons are inclinations and other inclinations that we should not ignore as we follow their discourse, which we have grown tired of repeating....!!!

I am not defending Salem as much as I am stating that settling scores within the national team is an old issue that is renewed and will continue. A generation hands over the baton to another generation, and we believed that with the passage of years, the approach would change, but it has been proven that nature prevails over nurture, so how do we address the impossible....!!

In the other camp, the defensive rate has risen, and we entered a losing battle in all its forms...!!

I did not say, and I will not say, that Salem against Uruguay was a star or delivered an acceptable performance; rather, I say that he was a burden on the national team, and he should have left the pitch within the first half hour...!!!

My objection is not to the criticism of Salem's performance, but to the targeted media discourse against Salem just as it targeted Sami, and they took Firas with them because I know him.....!!!!!!

They themselves, when some colleagues conveyed the angry opinions of the Portuguese media about Ronaldo, rushed to defend him with all their might....!!

Are you more concerned about the Portuguese national team than the Portuguese themselves...?

No, of course not, but I wished for your emotional enthusiasm to be directed towards the Saudi national team and its captain, Salem...!!

There was a consensus that Ronaldo's first appearance in the World Cup did not resemble that of Messi or Mbappe, and therefore we should speak with logic governed by the pitch and not anything else...!!

Colleague Abdulaziz Al-Muraisel says under the title "I am aware of what I say": By God, I am aware of what I say.

The Saudi league that Al-Nassr won under Cristiano Ronaldo is (more difficult) than the current World Cup, and God willing, the Portuguese national team will achieve it...!!

And because you are aware of what you say, my friend, I will suffice with the transmission and leave the commentary to colleague Sami Al-Qurashi...!!

Finally: Sometimes, things are difficult... but not impossible.
