Osama Nabih, the former coach of Egypt’s national team, revealed the scenes of Al-Ahly’s passion for the Argentine player, Hector Cuper, the former coach of the national team, in the Saudi match at the conclusion of the group stage of the 2018 World Cup.
Nabih said, at the hospitality of “On Time Sports” on Wednesday morning: “We pushed Mahmoud Kahraba as a substitute in the Saudi game and asked him to perform some defensive tasks and we were instructed to return to the middle of the stadium, but he did not abide by it and he acted upon us.”
He added: “He electrified his hand to us with what it means (you went to salvation) referring to the end of our mission, but I spoke to him and said to him (the world is small and leave us with a state of affection).”
He continued: “Certainly, this incident will have a great impact in the future if I return to the technical staff of Egypt, not for my grief from this position, but because the behavior of this players does not change, which is what we saw in the Egyptian Super match against Zamalek.”
The former Zamalek player and coach asserted: “I am not sad about his move to Al-Ahly and wish him success with Al-Ahmar, but his behavior prevails over him, unlike other players, who needs great effort in working with him in order to give a good return.”
Osama Nabih concluded by saying: “I confess that we made several mistakes against Saudi Arabia, which caused our loss. We should have started with Saad Samir or Ahmed Al Muhammadi in defense, and Mahmoud Kahraba or Mahmoud Shikabala in the attack, but we insisted on forming and not recycling.”
Mohamed Barakat, the Egyptian national team manager, had confirmed that Mahmoud Abdel-Moneim had electrified outside the accounts of the current technical staff led by Hossam Al-Badri, before the postponement of the African Nations Qualifiers 2021 matches, which were scheduled at the end of this month against Togo.
It is noteworthy that Egypt lost farewell to the World Cup competitions before the fatal defeat against Saudi Arabia (2-1), after losing from Uruguay (1-0) and Russia (3-1) in the first two rounds of the group stage of the World Cup Russia two years ago.
