In the second round of the African Cup of Nations group stage, Egypt beat Guinea-Bissau 1-0. Looking back at this game, it is still the classic "Salah single-handed" plot: compared to Liverpool's top star, the performance of other teammates is obviously worse. Fortunately, Egyptian midfielder Trezeguet, also from the Premier League, is gradually regaining his form and is expected to be Salah's right-hand man in the Africa Cup of Nations title. Seeing this, Premier League fans have ridiculed: The unlucky egg is going to be Ji Tai coming.
The unlucky egg mentioned here, of course, is not Salah, but Trezeguet. Looking back on his experience in the last year, it is really unlucky to arrive home. Last January, Trezeguet was diagnosed positive for COVID-19. After a period of recovery, he finally returned to the game. In the Premier League against Liverpool last April, Trezeguet performed quite well. However, because of this, he was injured by Liverpool full-back Alexander-Arnold. After the game, the team doctor diagnosed that Trezeguet was seriously injured in the ligament. For this reason, he once again missed the game due to injury after undergoing ligament surgery.
This time, Trezeguet directly truced for more than half a year. It wasn't until the Premier League game against Brentford in January that he was given the opportunity to come off the bench. Watching Trezeguet still perform well, Aston Villa fans are very pleased. However, a few days later they received "bad news": Trezeguet was called up by the Egyptian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, along with Liverpool's Salah. In this regard, many Aston Villa complained: People have just recovered and have been taken away by the Egyptian national team!
With the start of the Africa Cup of Nations, the reused Trezeguet started the first round of the group stage against Nigeria. Perhaps because of the long lack of battle, his performance in the game was average. Because of this, Trezeguet did not start in the second round of the group match against Guinea-Bissau. Egypt, which saw no part in sight, was unable to break the deadlock before it was replaced. Not to mention, Trezeguet played quite well on the bench this time, successfully connecting Egypt's midfield. Especially in the cooperation with Salah, the two Premier League players are very tacit. Thanks to the strengthening of support from the midfield, Salah finally scored in the second half.
With this goal, Egypt eventually won 1-0 against Guinea-Bissau. At the same time as winning the first victory of this African Cup of Nations, the group ranking rose to the second place, and the qualifying situation was very good. However, for Salah, who won the best player in the whole game, his goal is obviously not only this, but to win the Africa Cup of Nations.
If you want to beat Nigeria, Algeria and other African teams to win the championship, Salah obviously needs help. Looking at this Egyptian team, Trezeguet should be one of the few teammates who can help him. After all, most of the internationals in the team play in the lower leagues, and there is a big gap between them and Salah in terms of ability and awareness. Trezeguet, on the other hand, is the main force of Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa. What's more, as the African Cup of Nations progresses, he is gradually regaining his form. If it can return to the level before the major injury, it will be Salah's strongest helper to attack the African Cup of Nations title!
