Former Algerian international Rabah Madjer was booed while watching an interview in the African Nations Championship for locals hosted by Algeria, which sparked a wave of reactions on social media.
Madjer was watching the match that brought together, on Tuesday, the Algerian national team with its Ethiopian counterpart at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algeria as part of the "Chan" competitions, when he was surprised by the loud whistles of boos as soon as his image appeared on the stadium's giant screen.
Madjer seemed surprised and shocked by this reaction, as he seemed to be affected while leaving the stadium.
The situation that Majer was subjected to sparked a wave of reactions among many social media users, as many denounced what he was subjected to.
In this context, the Algerian international, Djamel Belamri, published, through the “Al-Asturi” feature, on his Instagram account, a picture of one of Majer’s coronations while he was a player in the national team, and commented on it, “A great shame; we did not see the whistles against those who offended Algeria in one way or another, today we see it against those who making her laurels."
In turn, the journalist Qada bin Ammar commented on the matter by saying, "Rabih Majer deserves respect and appreciation and deserves" applause, not whistling," considering in his tweet that "Majer's failure as a coach, his previous statements, everything that happened to him and what might happen, will not affect the history of this man as a football player. And his honorable past in making the glory of Algerian football.”
Many other interactors expressed their solidarity with Majer, and in posts on social platforms recalled his achievements with the Algerian national team when he was a player in its ranks in the eighties of the last century.
On the other hand, other respondents considered that what Majer was subjected to was a reaction to his "negative" results with the Algerian national team when he was its coach, and also because of his trial on charges of benefiting "illegally" from advertising pages for the benefit of two newspapers he owned during the rule of former President Abdel. Aziz Bouteflika, a charge he kept denying himself.
In this context, the Algerian human rights activist Abd al-Rahman Saleh wrote, “spectators whistle against corruption, the spectators whistle
against the landlord of the land in al-Sablat, the spectators whistle against Majer, the owner of two newspapers that were scooping up billions of advertising money, spectators whistle against Tizi Fu and against if I go, the national team will collapse, spectators whistle
against Alo Porto, the audience whistle against the director of the fifth term campaign," before adding, "Leave the public alone, because its political awareness is greater than that of most politicians."
In his turn, the journalist Bilal Oqab tweeted, "When I remember the real estate in Al-Sabilat Park on the banks of the sea in the capital, which was granted to Rabah Majer during the Bouteflika era and withdrawn from him during the era of Abdelkader bin Saleh, I was amazed at the amount of sympathy for him," adding, "When I see" songs "in which Majer participated Who was praising the Bouteflika regime, I say that the public is "right".
It is noteworthy that Madjer was famous for scoring a goal for the Portuguese team, Porto, in the victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in 1987 with the heel of his foot. He is also famous for scoring a decisive goal for his country's national team in its victory over West Germany in the 1982 World Cup.
Forum position
First: His failure in training is not the end of the world or a football disaster. There are many coaches who failed and were not subjected to boos.
Secondly: Maradona, Billy, Ronaldinho and many legends did things greater than what Majer did, and they were not whistled.
I think there is justice that decided on that and the law took its course, but the strange thing is that there are symbols of corruption that have practiced corruption throughout the four terms and entered prisons and then were released and are now roaming the streets of cities and no one whistles in on them.
And there are terrorists who wreaked havoc on the land, killed and raped free women, unjustly robbed the property of the unarmed, detonated bombs and destroyed the infrastructure. When they returned to their families within the framework of civil harmony, no one objected to them, and no one whistled at them.
The real sports audience does not involve the political or religious field in sports, but rather it remains just fun and entertainment in the sports framework
Rabeh Madjer, as a football legend, honored Algeria in international forums and has several national, African, European and international championships. He is best known for scoring a goal for the Portuguese team Porto in the victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in 1987 with the heel of his foot. He is also famous for scoring a decisive goal for his country's national team in its victory over West Germany in the 1982 World Cup
This football jewel had made the Algerians happy when he conquered Germany in 1982 and made them happy when he led the Algerian team to win the first African Cup in 1990.
The forum does not sanctify people, but rather respects them for their achievements, and each person has his negatives and positives, and perfection belongs to God Almighty. And the fans who insulted him are like supporters who have nothing to do with football.
