Al-Ghandour: Reveals the Reason Behind Ahmed El-Shenawy's Decline in Performance
Khaled Al-Ghandour comments on Ahmed El-Shenawy's decline in performance and affirms his talent despite the issues in big matches.

Sports commentator Khaled Al-Ghandour commented on the decline in performance of Ahmed El-Shenawy, the goalkeeper of Pyramids FC, after a series of disappointing performances in recent Egyptian Premier League matches. The criticism directed at El-Shenawy followed his underwhelming performance in the match against Al Bank Al Ahly, where many began to question his ability to maintain his spot in the starting lineup.In his radio comments, Al-Ghandour confirmed that El-Shenawy had always been considered one of the best talents in the goalkeeper position, saying, "No coach has ever said anything other than Ahmed El-Shenawy being the best talent in goalkeeping. People started criticizing him after the Al Bank Al Ahly match." Despite the criticism, Al-Ghandour pointed out that El-Shenawy remains an exceptional talent but struggles in big matches, which require greater focus and mental strength.
He added, "El-Shenawy has a problem in big matches, and when he was younger, he wasn’t focused on the ball; he was distracted by other things." Al-Ghandour warned that slow reactions and delayed responses in crucial moments could be the reason for El-Shenawy's dip in form during major matches. He emphasized that El-Shenawy needs to review himself, noting that while his talent is evident, he must improve some technical and mental aspects to overcome this phase.
