What happened while the Al-Ittihad captain left the Kingdom Arena?
It was not the departure of the Egyptian Ahmed Hegazy; Al-Ittihad Saudi defender, for Kingdom Arena; Al Hilal’s stronghold, a smooth departure, as he reacted to the journalists standing in the players’ farewell corridor.
The Egyptian defender participated in Al-Ameed’s defeat yesterday, Tuesday, against Al-Zaeem, 2-0, in the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals.
After the match, Al-Midan Sports newspaper published a video of the moment Hegazy left the stadium, during which the laughter of some journalists appeared at that time, causing the player to stand up and ask in his Egyptian accent: “Do I need it or what?! Do I need it?!”
The newspaper claimed that Hegazy’s speech was directed to those who were laughing, although it was not clear what was the secret behind those laughs, and whether it was a mockery of the defeat of Al-Ittihad and its leader, or whether it was just a coincidence with Al-Masry passing by!
It is noteworthy that Al-Ittihad has an opportunity to take revenge on Al-Hilal in the return match, scheduled to be held on March 12, at the Radiant Jewel Stadium in Jeddah.
