00:00 "Salman, the first time in the camp, he said that he doesn't want to come to play for the
00:08 friendly game.
00:10 I don't think that one player can decide when or not can come.
00:16 Second is Soutan and Nawaf.
00:19 I spoke with both before the list and I asked them if they were happy to come in the national
00:26 team.
00:28 And Soutan told me that he was not happy.
00:31 That 'oh, I play, I don't come, okay'.
00:36 There is no one player that can decide if I have to play or not.
00:41 I decide this.
00:42 I think that the national team is not a club.
00:44 The national team, you represent your country.
00:47 All the people that you leave in your country.
00:49 You should be happy only if you are a part of this group.
00:54 This is a very strange situation for me.
00:56 It's the first time that I have this."
