AFPFormer Al Ahly defender Rabie Yassin criticised Jose Riveiro's substitutions in the 0-0 draw with Major League Soccer side Inter Miami at the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup on Sunday.
It was the Spaniard's first competitive match in charge of the Egyptian giants and has already attracted comments from Al Ahly legends who are known for being very vocal in their criticisms'
Local fans reacted to Yassin's remarks and GOAL takes a look at what they were saying.
He knew exactly what he was getting himself into - Masonwabe Maso Mjayezi
Getty Images SportAlways his substitutes aren't useful. Remember the game against Pyramids he took out Nkota and the rest was history - Victor Van Washie
Getty Images SportInter Miami is a weak team. They just have Messi who doesn't have support. Riveiro was supposed to win that game - Juust Say Blekbongz
Getty Images SportThe Ahly coaching was available at one stage and these legends did not apply but they're always the first ones to criticise - Rochester Majoro
Getty Images SportWhy Al Ahly don't hire these club legends as coaches and technical staff so that their team can win every game they play on earth, because clearly they know the job more than everyone in the world 🚮🚮 - Eddie Marphy Kale
BackpagePitso was also abused like this, they fired the former coach just because he refused to the chairman a cup of tea. Rather work where you will be appreciated, come back home bro - Xolani Nashwille Manisi
BackpageI still remember when he subbed Mbokazi with five minutes to go against SuperSport and they equalised just after that, remember when he persisted with Xoki and Sundowns destroyed us 4-1, he has this tendency to do very weird subs which puts the teams under pressure - Lefa Champ
BackpageCoaches do that, and it's even better he substituted Zizo, unlike our coach who did not play our captain at all on both legs of the final vs Pyramids - Xolani Dumakude
BackpageTaste the medicine. That is how Pirates lost to Pyramids too.. He is always subbing the wrong players this man. He is a good coach but he lacks there a bit - Mefika Figo Magagula
BackpageRiveiro always has his substitutions planned before the game starts. Whether you play well, he will take you out. That's why even when he loses, he will take out the right-back and put in another right-back or regardless of whether the right back was performing or not - Mojalefa Tumisang Anderson Sedio
