The mother of Egyptian footballer Mostafa Ziko could not hold back her tears during an interview. With a trembling voice, she confessed something many mothers feel but few say out loud: “I was number one in his life. Now his wife is number one, and I am number two”.
The confession went viral within minutes and sparked a huge debate: who should come first after marriage, the partner or the parents? 💬
Ziko did not let the moment pass. He posted photos with her and wrote: “You have always been number one, and you always will be” 🤍⚽. A gesture that soothed his mother’s tears and further fueled the conversation on social media.
