The prominent journalist Hafez al-Mirazi criticized Al-Arabiya channel for distorting the statements of Morocco’s goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, which caused turmoil and exchanges of accusations and electronic battles between Moroccans and Egyptians.<\/p>\n
Under the title \u201cMoroccan Team Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou: I Liked What Messi Did Against Egypt.. and I Wish Argentina Success<\/strong>\u201c, the channel garnered thousands of views and hundreds of comments, most of which were a conflict between Moroccans and Egyptians.<\/p>\n The Egyptians attacked Bounou and Morocco, while Moroccans responded in defense of their star and their country.<\/p>\n This conflict quickly turned out to be based on a distortion by the channel in search of views, visitors, and engagement, as it misrepresented and altered Bounou’s statement to make it appear as if he was attacking Egypt and its national team.<\/p>\n In reality, Bounou had an interview with an Argentine channel where the question was related to Messi. Accordingly, Bounou expressed his admiration for the player\u2019s fighting spirit and how he managed to come back in the match despite missing a penalty, without even mentioning Egypt or insulting any of its team components or belittling them.<\/p>\n Bounou’s statement that Al-Arabiya channeled.. an interview with an Argentine media outlet regarding talking about Messi, but the Saudi channel decided to insert Egypt into the topic for unknown purposes pic.twitter.com\/21WVCzjDGu<\/a><\/p>\nThe Truth<\/h2>\n
