He explained: «A problem occurred in the Al -Jazeera match, so any player has the right to get angry when he is replaced in the match, but he does not have the right to talk about the time of playing in the match, and unfortunately the situation was repeated in more than one match, so I should have taken the difficult decision on the player and the team as a punitive measure as a result of misconduct.
