The Truth About Mohamed Awad’s Exclusion from Zamalek After the Pyramids Mistake
A source inside Zamalek has denied rumors that the team’s goalkeeper, Mohamed Awad, was excluded following the mistake he made in the recent match against Pyramids in the Egyptian Premier League. The source confirmed that this news is untrue and that the incident in the match is a normal part of the game, not something that should be overemphasized.
Mistakes Are Part of Football
The source mentioned that the mistake Mohamed Awad made is not unique, as mistakes are common for goalkeepers worldwide. They added that errors are an integral part of football, saying, “If we’re going to judge things this way, we should also hold forwards accountable for missed chances or missed penalties.” The source also emphasized that the coaching staff does not punish players for individual mistakes, but rather focuses on collective teamwork and overall team performance.

Awad Still in the Coach’s Plans
The source explained that Mohamed Awad is still part of the team’s plans, pointing out that the decision to include him in upcoming matches depends on the evaluation by the coaching staff and the goalkeeper coach. The source added that all goalkeepers in the team are competing for their spot, and the final decision is based on training performances. The goalkeeper who shows the best form in training will be the one given the opportunity to play.

Sobhi May Return to Play
The source also mentioned that goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi may return to play in upcoming matches, as was the case in the encounter with Ceramica, where he was substituted after an injury, allowing Awad to take over. This indicates that player selection depends on the readiness of the players. However, excluding Awad due to a single mistake is not being considered.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the source confirmed that the decision to play Awad or Sobhi in future matches is a tactical decision for the coaching staff, and the mistake made by Awad will not impact his participation in upcoming games.
