    I hope that the kids in the audience took notice of Asal's behaviour. In the final in front of his home crowd he kept up the sportsmanship to the highest level, and accepted his defeat. Well done Mr. Asal, you have grown in a way that many people probably didn't think was possible.

  • @lordjimbo2
    @lordjimbo2 7 місяців тому +26

    I was wrong. I thought that in front of an Egyptian crowd, defending the world championship, with a ref who was surely under tremendous pressure to deliver, Asal would revert to form when the match was on the line. But he didn't. That was the most rhythmic, free-flowing match I've ever seen between those two, with them gliding around and deliberately avoiding each other. It was exactly how you want this game to be played. I doubt he'll ever see this, but I misjudged you, Mostafa. You won this event more than you ever did before and we'll be lucky to have you on the tour for the next decade or more.

    That is understandable and loyal and all
    But the problem i faced while speaking with some of them is that they wouldnt even clap for Elias if he won, and that i believe we as egyptians should improve and be more like asal himself, better sportsmanship, better games, overall happier sport, and after all, we’re here to have fun

The sincerity that he congratulated Diego with was totally real and genuine. I can't wait for their next matches.

To his credit though, he was genuinely congratulatory of Elias.
