(PLO)-Same celebration behavior…picking up food, but why was Aymen Hussein fined but Jordan’s players were not?
Immediately after scoring to put Iraq up 2-1 in the 76th minute, hero Hussein Aymen also “imitated” Jordan to celebrate by squatting down on the turf and using his hands to pick up food and put it in his mouth.
But that was an extremely shocking action, extremely insulting in terms of behavior and specifically, insulting the opponent. How can these things get past Iranian referee Aliraze Faghani?
The custom in the Muslim world is an act of celebration and gratitude to the superiors. But that “hand” that picks up food must be the right hand, and the left hand is only for… picking up dirty, very dirty things, which is an act of insulting and looking down on others.
Referee Faghani, who is from Iran, also an orthodox Muslim country, is no stranger to extremely rude behavior, much worse than other severe insults.
After Jordan opened the scoring first, Iraq temporarily went upstream, in which Hussein Aymen scored to increase the score to 2-1 for Iraq. When he celebrated the goal, everyone thought it was a Muslim custom. Yes, but with the condition that the hand that picks up the food must be the right hand, and the left hand, according to Muslim beliefs, is used to wipe dirty things.
Aymen severely insulted, retaliated and provoked Jordan players. However, perhaps Aymen forgot that on the field, the “king of the field”, Faghani, came from Iran, so he understood Hussein Aymen’s extremely rude behavior and so the second yellow card was given to Aymen, before that. He received a yellow card for retaliating against Jordan’s player for being “locked in” too tightly.
Even Spanish coach Jesus Casas doesn’t understand what happened to his favorite student, the goalscorer, and why he was given a yellow card for celebrating like the Jordanian player who celebrated first. there.
Coach Casas admitted that when Aymen was sent off, the wind changed direction, helping Jordan score two goals and win 3-2 to reach the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
But later the Spanish strategist understood, Aymen’s behavior was insulting to the Jordan team. Referee Faghani hesitated and issued a second yellow card. In the Arab world, no one unjustly accuses Aymen of anything, it deserves it and even more.
THANH HA
