The position of the Egyptian team

On the digital level, the Egyptian team achieved good results, under the leadership of former coach Hossam Al -Badri, where he qualified as his first group for the upcoming African Nations Cup finals, without defeat, as it is currently in second place, with his group in the World Cup qualifiers, behind Libya with four points.

But the main complaint of the Egyptian team's fans, during the period of Al -Badri, was due to the lack of an identity for the team, and a style that suits the history of the team, which is the most crowned with the African Nations Cup titles 7 titles.

The first appearance of Kirosh with the Egyptian team will be next month in two games against Libya in Cairo first, then in Tripoli.

After that, the Egyptian team is supposed to participate in the Arab Cup, then the African Nations Cup finals in Cameroon, which was postponed due to the Korona virus.

The identity of the team

At the historical level, it appears that the previous generation of the Egyptian team led by Mohamed Aboutrika will have a great impact on the psyche of Egyptian football fans.

The most prominent generation, who presented a pleasant ball and was on the throne of Africa between 2006 and 2010, won three consecutive titles for the Nations Cup led by the most prominent coach in the history of Egypt, Hassan Shehata.

The team presented great matches against Brazil and Italy in the Confederations Cup in 2010 and in a way of playing an offensive, compared to what happened after that.

After Hassan Shehata left the team's training and most of the players of this generation retired, the generation of Mohamed Salah took the flag of the Egyptian team, and despite his qualification led by former coach Hishnur Cooper to the African Nations Cup final in 2017, as well as to the World Cup in Russia 2018, the team was playing in a wayA defensive defensive even in front of the team less in the capabilities and history.

This was the reason for the popular discontent in Egypt after Egypt left three defeats from the championship and without any points, which eventually led to the overthrow of Cooper and the assumption of Mexican coach, Khafir Airi.

The Mexican coach began his reign, by trying to form a new generation for the Egyptian team.However, but the support of the African Union, Egypt, suddenly organizing the 2019 African Nations Finals, after withdrawing the organization from Cameroon, made Airi find himself facing the demand of the Egyptian fans to win the championship hosted by their country, but the man failed and left the quarter -finals after a meager performance.

This was not only to overthrow my change, but also with the resignation of the Egyptian Football Association, and a temporary committee assigned the task of training the team to Al -Badri.

With Al -Badri, the matter did not differ much, and the criticism increased, after the Egyptian national team matches against Angola and then Gabon, and the officials of the Interim Football Administration Committee in Egypt seek to start a new era, with Carlos Kirosh, so does this option succeed?

the way of playing

Kirosh is known to be from the school of trainers who love defensive insurance, while the Egyptian team played with Hossam Al-Badri in a 4-2-3-1 and sometimes 4-3-2-1.

As for Kirosh, it depends on the method of playing 4-3-3, and sometimes, especially with the Iranian national team, it relied on 4-1-4-1 as ways to play defensive insurance with rapid offensive shifts, especially from the two ends of the stadium.

This strategy may seem suitable for the current generation of the Egyptian national team, which has distinguished defenders such as Ahmed Hegazy and Mahmoud Al -Wensh, and players who are characterized by speed and registration on the parties such as the star Mohamed Salah, Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, and Ramadan Sobhi.

Although these data seem promising to many, but the question remains, can Kirosh restore the sparkle, for the Egyptian team?
