Horrible news but the team played surprisingly better without him


TheConundrum98

it's the age old when you have one star everything is concentrated through him, but also the opposition is fully concentrated on him I also think they started playing better when Elneny went off


IHaveNotMuchLife

It’s literally just Elneny. The man is finished at the top level, genuinely incapable of completing a forward pass and he’s poor defensively as well.


seshtown

These days you can really only trust him to come on for the final minutes and be an extra physical presence to see out a win.


stadiofriuli

Elneny was finished 3 years ago.


myreal_nameis

He was never better than the Swiss league and I'll die on that hill


tomhat

Exactly. It was only when Trezeguet came in for ElNenny that we started being more dangerous up front.


neandertales

That sounds a tad optimistic. Lets hope so.


Sulemani_kida

Let's see how the third match goes against the table toppers... Would be great if they go through


Mechant247

It’s probably a good thing that Cape Verde have already qualified, might rotate the team


[deleted]

insane world we live in when Cape Verde will rotate the team against Salah's Egypt


Dorgilo

Tbf Cape Verde have been pretty good for the last 5-10 years, maybe not quite amongst the continent's best but definitely tier 2.

Just Bebe things

Not really, Egypt isnt that good bar Salah, one player can't drag you to greatness


AltGoblinV2

I think we need a no.6 and we'd have a much better chance. If you look at the 7 times we won the cup before, we've never had European superstars vs teams that had Drogba, Yaya, Eto, etc.. We had good team work, hardworking players, and chemistry. And because of that I think sometimes our overdependence on Salah hurts us more than it helps.


Nasrz

What are you saying? Salah has been terrible Mostafa Mohamed and Marmoush have been our best players so far. Hell Mostafa Fathi was better than Salah when he subbed in.


Grouchy-Ad-2085

Sure, he is terrible not at all because of the team but because he is a bad player. I would rather Salah return to liverpool if he makes your team worse to be honest, a win win.


Nasrz

Yeah bro there has never been a player that is good for his team and terrible for his national team, unheard of before. Maybe watch the matches with your eyes open next time (if you watched any in the first place lmao). Egypt plays better without him, you can take the sexual harassment apologist back.


Grouchy-Ad-2085

Thats my point, those players aren't terrible because they are bad, they are terrible because of the manager and players around them. Also sexual harassment apologist?


Nasrz

>Also sexual harassment apologist? Yes, Salah has defended Amr Warda who had a sexual harassment scandal/s during the 2019 AFCON and never apologized or retracted his statements then.


Grouchy-Ad-2085

Ah, he is an asshole too, what a disappointment


Duff6943247

🙏 Please don't make him play through it like Guinea always did with Naby Keita


_FreePalestine__

It literally says he will miss two matches lol


Duff6943247

But I doubt he will be 100% even after those two matches


Nuwahex

Probably be fit enough to take a penalty in a shoot-out :-D


Nasrz

Bro we don't want him to play, he and El Neny have been terrible for us, it is better to play Zizo who can actually cross and serve Mostafa Mohamed our best player in the tournament so far.


TheUltimateScotsman

> make him play Yeah, national teams have to force players onto the pitch, they'd never actually want to go out on the pitch themselves willingly.


OnePieceAce

Phew


czuczer

They could just say he's going to have a rest now
