On a night when the impossible smiled - Egypt defeated Cote d'Ivoire 5/4 on penalties.
Egypt defeated Cote d'Ivoire 5/4 on penalties
Egypt defeated Cote d'Ivoire 5-4 on penalties. After the spirit returned to the men of the Egyptian national football team, and after they regained some self-confidence, they restored the organization of the late Mahmoud El-Gohary to the national team's lines, they restored the creativity of Hassan Shehata.
Restoring the soul: Egypt beat Côte d'Ivoire
They restored the enthusiasm and determination of Hossam Hassan, Abu Trika, the craftsmanship of Hazem Imam, and the brilliance of Al-Khatib. The spirit of victories returned to them. Today I saw a real football team that I did not see in the preliminary round, in which it played the worst matches, but it reached the quarter-finals.
The Egyptian national team had to meet the strong Ivory Coast national team, which is full of professionals in the strongest European leagues. Everyone expected the Egyptian team to lose.
We have an excuse for this expectation, as the previous three matches were a loss from the Nigeria team and a victory over Guinea-Bissau and Sudan with a score of 1 / zero, and the performance was very bad even in the matches that the team won.
The coach carried us a large part of this bad form and the worst performance, and we said that the Egyptian team was distinguished in the past by good organization on the field and smart team play, and this team did not do any of them.
Description of the match: Egypt defeated Cote d'Ivoire
But: Glory is to the changer of conditions. We watched a great match for the Egyptian national team, as they regained discipline and good organization on the field. The players also regained the enthusiasm and strength of performance that they had lacked before.
Even the coach regained consciousness after realizing that he is coaching the national team of a big country. It is not right to try and change his mood, otherwise, he will bear the full results.
On a night when the impossible smiled, the Egyptian team played a wonderful match and dominated in the first half most of the match. He formed a danger and missed more than one opportunity to score, the most dangerous of which was the Marmoush ball that hit the crossbar.
And Mohamed Salah's ball, which the goalkeeper saved with difficulty. In the second half, the fitness of the Egyptian team decreased, and the elephants launched several consecutive attacks. The defense and goalkeeper El-Shenawy tackled them brilliantly. Then El-Shenawy came out injured, and fate had precise and creative planning at every moment.

Arranging fate and winning the Egyptian team
From the plans of fate for this match, I can deduce from them the following
1- El-Shennawy’s injury, to enter his place, Muhammad Abu Jabal, who specializes in countering penalty kicks, and he did it a lot with Zamalek club. The arrangement of fate and the victory of the Egyptian team
Perhaps if El-Shennawy had not been injured, the genius coach would not have thought of changing him in the mountain, which saved a penalty kick and was the reason for the team's victory.
2 - Marmoush's chance missed, which hit the crossbar, or Salah's ball, which was blocked by the Cote d'Ivoire goalkeeper. Perhaps if one of these balls entered Côte d'Ivoire's goal, the Cote d'Ivoire team would retaliate and attack with all its lines and defeat the Egyptian team with more than one goal, but we are like the person who awakened the sleeping monster.
3- Not scoring any goal by Côte d'Ivoire during the match, otherwise we would not have been able to compensate for it.
4- Blocking the third penalty kick by Abu Jabal gave our players greater confidence and worked to shake the confidence of the Cote d'Ivoire players.
But: Today we say that the youth of the national team played a great match and missed real opportunities in the four games, and this was enough to spread fear in the hearts of the players of Côte d’Ivoire, so they did not go as usual in the previous matches because they were afraid of defeat.
On a beautiful night, everyone played and each of them pulled out what he had. The impossible smiled, which was not expected by the most optimists, and the Egyptian team won the penalty shootout.

Penalty kicks (conciliation): Egypt's victory over Côte d'Ivoire
We saw how Mohamed Salah arranged the players in penalty kicks and made himself the last player because he knows that the last penalty kick needs strong nerves for him.
Wonderful Abu Jabal was able to block a penalty shootout and was close to blocking other strikes. Everyone was great today and we will forgive even a little with the coach who was late in his changes as usual. He also took out the brilliant Marmoush and left Mustafa Mohamed, who was not in harmony with his colleagues, then returned after a while to correct the situation and expelled him.
On a night when the impossible smiled, we say congratulations to the Egyptian team, the deserved victory, to ascend to the round of four and meet the Moroccan team. And we ask God to help him to win the eighth championship, to make millions of overpowered people happy.
Finally
And the demands are not attained by wishful thinking……. But the world is taken for granted
