Ismael Saibari did not have the best performance on Sunday evening. In the Africa Cup final against Senegal, the Morocco midfielder not only made a mediocre impression, but he may also have escaped a red card.
Morocco international is disappointing and escapes red
Several viewers watched the PSV star’s action with amazement. “The VAR must review Saibari’s action on Lamine Camara. That is a red card,” grumbles a football fan on X. Several supporters speak of a deliberate action. “That was a deliberate action on Saibari’s part!”
However, Saibari escaped red in his own country. The midfielder did not make a good impression anyway. “Saibari is just playing a bad match, dude. Heavily overrated,” one of the fans even says. “Can someone explain to Saibari that he is not Senegalese?” asks another.
That could easily be at the expense of a top transfer. “Saibari should choose a smart next step such as Villarreal or something,” is the advice. The criticism is intense. “What are you good at?” sneers a critic. “This boy wants to ruin our final…”
Fans also wonder whether Saibari is fit at all. “He seems ten kilos too heavy,” writes one of the critics. Normally he will rejoin the PSV selection next week.
