One of the worst games for since 2018
Pastor did everything wrong, starting lineup gave indication we are better and let’s play with some subs
rotation was very bad
no attacking tactics at all (except last 5 minutes) he was relying on players talent
from organised attack only two shots from the wing !! Against Scandinavian team which means very strong defence specially in the middle
players were in very bad form .. I never saw Yaya in that form since he was U 20
except Ali Zien (left back) and Ahmed Adel “Dola” (pivot) the whole team was disappointing
he saved some shots but Hendawy is a poor quality GK.. can’t change the results of any game (selecting him in the squad is a mystery in Egypt)
finally, 3 main injuries in the squad
Yehia Elderaa before the tournament
Mohab Said (the best sub for Yaya) before the tournament
Dodo during the match against Croatia
But to be honest did a great game and well deserved, specially their brilliant GK
