Analysis of Egyptian Football Performance

They were all 10 out of 10, except for just one. - Who?

- He broke my heart and disappointed me deeply, and I had bet on him.

- Who is this who broke Captain Ayman Younis's heart, guys? Who is it?

- And I had made the bet of a lifetime on him.- Who?- Marmoush.- Marmoush? Yes.

- I was so disappointed in Marmoush.- Abu Al- Maramish? - Abu Al- Maramish...

- No, no, no, Ibrahim, I had high hopes for him. I had high hopes,

seeing him in our counter- attacks with his speed and what he would do.

I saw him passing one player after another, passing, playing with the players,

and winning it for us. I've seen a lot of him. But Marmoush didn't go.

He didn't go to the World Cup, and that devastates me.

Because this player would have made a huge difference for us.

And when you evaluate the players and say who's best,

so many people were drawn into this question.

I swear to God, the whole team together is the best.

There isn't a single spot on the pitch that doesn't deserve a' bravo'.

Starting from the giant Mostafa Shobeir, with everything the hero did.

I mean, it's something extraordinary.

All the way to a defense line of heroes.

Except for the last 10 minutes against Argentina as well, they all lost their focus.

And that was wrong, we should have held together more.

A champions' midfield, Salah is beyond evaluation. I want, when someone

speaks— those gentlemen who sit and talk about Salah and evaluate him...

Well, why don't you come and do a quarter of what he did?

He made us, as an Egyptian national team, dream like him. Do you understand what

it means for Salah to make the players see the pitch through his eyes?

And see the opponent through his eyes,

that they are less than you, or just like you?

This was never seen before.

The Egyptian player used to go out...

Mohamed Salah made them go out with their collars up, full of swagger.

They take on anyone and humiliate them, they don't care.

You know, if you had beaten Argentina, you would have swept everyone.

You would have actually reached the semi- finals. Salah gave them that.

Look at the moment Messi went to Salah, who is one of, you know,

the football geniuses of the world.

Whom nobody in Egypt likes anymore.

Look how he ran to Salah, how he hugged him, and how he kissed him.

Salah gives you value, prestige, and makes you feared.

And that son of a gun referee...

He stopped him at the exact moment he snatched the ball from the center- back.

What foul? The center- back tripped and fell flat on his face.

And Salah, with his signature touch,

the Liverpool style, was about to fly towards the goal, and he stopped him.

Honestly, to the Egyptian national team: salute, respect,

appreciation, and you made us proud.

But we must capitalize on this now.

Not just celebrate it— no, this word is important.

We shouldn't just celebrate the words and live in them.

We must capitalize on this and get back to work.

On our coach, our pitches, and the youth sector.

On the contract system, and work on the fans.

We need to put our house in order again.

On the Egyptian referee— we must put our house in order properly.

It's an opportunity.
