The president of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation refuted the reports regarding the ostentatious bonus that the Saudi Arabia players received for beating Argentina: “They played for the pride of representing their nation”.
“No, no, no. Our players played for the pride of representing their nation. They had the honor and luck to represent the national team in a historic match (against Argentina). The rumors are not true. Of course they had a bonus, but it was a normal bonus.
There are regulations for it. They don’t play for bonuses, they played for their country. To make their own history. Many of them became famous after beating Argentina,” said Yasser Al Misehal.
The president also had time to talk about Al-Shahrani, the footballer who received a heavy blow in the match against Argentina. “Thank God Al-Shahrani is fine. He had several severe injuries.
Not only an injury to his face. He also had an injury to his ribs and another one to his pancreas that was scary, but thank God he is fine. He has had three surgeries, he is doing well at home.
I think he will gradually start training little by little and I hope he will be back on the field soon,” he said.
