Zamalek 1- Tersana 0: That was close!!

By: Tamim | May 16th, 2008

another 3 points in our meaningless and “embarrassing” quest for the second place after a very late win against tersana (english word for arsenal and their nickname in English means hammers “west ham??”. the goal came at the last minute from a long range shot by ahmed abd el raouf.

line up: abdel wahed, karim zekry, mahmoud fathallah,amr el safti,osama 7assan,magdy atwa,ahmed abd el raouf, hazem emam, khaled saad,amr zaki, abd el halim

the match witnessed the second or 3rd participation of Jordanian defender khaled saad, a deal which over propagandized at the start of the season. he put a good performance he just need more playing time. he generally enjoys very good speed and techniques and lacks self confidence.

again, we were punished by the association to play this game only 4 days after inter club’s match. we were forced again to play with substitutes which affect our performance. i don’t know why they do this!!!

the match itself was boring and had nothing to talk about except that tersana is a very boring team which do nothing related to football except defending. what really upset me is that they are allowed to play football!!

it seems that there was a plan for the players to take yellow cards intentionally so that they guarantee not missing the cup final match. the problem is in the way they took it. amr zaki was going to be substituted and it took him 10 minutes to go out which made the ref show him the yellow card after that he went out running!!!. mahmoud fathallah was going to play a goal kick and it took him 3 minutes to do so!!!

luckily, ismaily lost 2-0 from mahallah and we are now alone in the second place and will remain so till the end 90%

that’s all for now and here is the goal
