Squad announced for Guinea’s friendly

August 9th, 2009 | by: Tamim |

Shehata made some good decisions yesterday as he announced his squad for guinea friendly next Wednesday at Cairo military stadium by bringing back Shikabala for the first time since ages.

He also called some very new faces like Ahmed Kamal from Haras El Hdoud and Sayed Hamdi from Petrojet.

Here is the complete roster

Goalkeepers: Essam Al-Hadari (Ismaili), Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed (Zamalek), Al-Hani Soliman (Ittihad).

Defenders: Hani Saied, Mahmoud Fathalla, Hazem Emam (Zamalek), Wael Gomaa, Sayed Moawad (Ahli), Ahmed Kamal, Ahmed Saied (Harras Hodoud), Ahmed Al-Muhammadi (ENPPI).

Midfielders: Ahmed Fathi, Ahmed Hassan, Mohamed Abou-Treika (Ahli), Shikabala (Zamalek), Abdul-Aziz Tawfik (ENPPI), Mohamed Shawky (Middlesbrough), Hosni Abdu-Rabou (Ahli Dubai).

Strikers: Ahmed Eid (Harras Hodoud), Ahmed Raouf (ENPPI), Ihab Al-Masri (Arab Contractors), Sayed Hamdi (Petrojet), Mohamed Zidan (Borussia Dortmund)

Most probably Shikabala returned because of this, you know we can always use some talent to qualify to the world cup.

The game comes as a preparation for our critical match against Rwanda next month; however, the choice of the game’s location is highly questionable as we have Rwanda’s game away in Rwanda so we should have chosen to play in guinea, preferably at noon under the heat of the sun.

Players’ choice is reasonable but mostly traditional, no creativity in choosing new players for trials; but the more important thing is that players like Hazem Emam, Abdel Wahed actually play because I feel they will rotten on the bench.

Also question marks are there for the reasons behind excluding Zaki from the team while we are most in need of strikers in hope of Mido returning to form with Zamalek and eventually returning to the team.

That’s all I have to say about this, share your thoughts?

Zidan to Miss Guinea International Friendly

11-8-2009 Mohamed Zidan didn’t report to the national team despite leaving Germany on time to join the rest of his teammates. Zidan was supposed to join the other national team players in their preparations for the international friendly against Guinea on Wednesday. Consequently, the player might be fined or banned from the national team.

did uruguay play with its best 11? if yes, then we should start to worry?

did you watch the game?

game review tomorrow isa

Uruguay was missing his best player Forlan and also Caceres which is always playing in the starting 11, we were missing Halliche and Yahia so our defense was totally remodeled.

I did not watch any of those games, but by the scores it tells me that Zambia is starting to give it up and that Egypt has some problems in the defense that have to be fixed. You can not give 2-3 goals like that every game. As for Algeria, it tells me that if they can focus and play their game, winning Rwanda and Zambia home should not be the hardest task. The game was on the same field as for the next two home games.
