Hussein Abdel Ghani accused Al-Ahli Saudi Club legend, Algerian international Riyad Mahrez of extending to his teammates in the formation of Al-Raqi and criticized the level and performance he offers with the team during the current football season.
Riyad Mahrez has occasionally been criticized by specialists and critics in the Saudi Roshen League, as has been the case with other players in the competition, such as Frenchman Karim Benzema, striker of the Jeddah Federation Club.
The Algiers star moved to play for Al-Ahli Club in Mercato last summer from English club Manchester City for a 35 million euro deal according to data from the global Transfer Market website.

Hussein Abdel Ghani, a left-back and former member of Al Ahli Mahrez’s club, accused the group and the team, and earlier criticized the level the player offers with Al Raqi this season, saying: “Mahrez plays for him, but Al-Ahli has not benefited from his technical value, there are those who say he is the most industrialized player for the goals; But this goal industry came mostly from corner kicks and moving balls. ”
He continued: “This is not the mark we knew with Leicester City, Manchester City and Algiers in the African Nations Cup, his level is very far from hopeful, for reasons he teaches her in training and discipline, in fact I don’t have information on it.”
He continued: “There is no commitment on Mahrez’s part. He encroaches on the group and the team, and he has to know the value of the club he represents, and every player has to realize that.”

Abdelghani then compared Algerian star Mahrez to fellow Ivorian national club Frank Casey, stating: “Frank Casey, for example, has played at the high level and carried the shirts of big clubs, it is true that he has not been at his best during the games, but he plays with commitment and offers everything he has with the team, he tries to be always on the field, and the elderly is bigger than any player.”
Riyad Mahrez participated in 29 confrontations in all competitions with Al Ahly during the current season 2023-2024, scored 10 goals, and also provided 12 assists for his teammates.
