Al-Ahly legend criticizes Jose Riveiro after first Club World Cup match

In their opening group stage match at the Club World Cup, Al-Ahly played to a goalless draw against Inter Miami, and after the final whistle, the Cairo club legend voiced criticism of Jose Riveiro.

Details: Rabi Yassin, speaking to El Fagr Sport, revealed he was surprised by the substitution of Zizo in the second half. According to Yassin, the player delivered an excellent performance and is a crucial addition to Al-Ahly’s lineup.

Quote: "I was surprised by Riveiro’s decision to take Ahmed Zizo off against Inter Miami. The player showed great form. What happened was a show of disrespect to a footballer of Zizo’s caliber. Zizo is not just an ordinary player, and everyone was talking about his transfer. On the pitch, he’s a major reinforcement for Al-Ahly," Yassin commented.

He also added that Ashraf Bencharki should have been given a chance, as he is capable of scoring in any situation. Overall, Yassin believes Riveiro needed to be more resolute, and that the team could have beaten Inter Miami.

Quote: "The first match had its ups and downs. We could have decided it in the first half. Riveiro must be tough with any player who makes mistakes," Yassin added.

Reminder: According to Jose Riveiro, who won five trophies with Orlando Pirates, it was time for new challenges.
