In the 11th match-day of the French championship
Hosni and his partners lost yet again, 0-1 against Rennes,
at home, to continue their awful league form.
It is becoming more and more usual for Strasbourg to
lose despite playing a good game!
Before this game Strasbourg were 19th and Rennes 17th,
showing how an important match this was for the bottom
part of the table. Unfortunately, after this match Strasbourg
are still in the relegation zone.
In the 30th minute, Cassard, the goalkeeper, who was
one of the best players since the beginning of the season,
left the goal and poorly distributed the ball. The young
French international Jimmy Briand hit a beautiful lob
from 30 metres. It was a big mistake from Cassard but
he there was no way he was going to stay perfect for
the whole of the season. 0-1 to Rennes.
Strasbourg reacted with some attacks. In the 43rd minute
after a corner was pushed back by Rennes keeper Isaksson,
the Egyptian Hosni Abd Rabo hit a great shot but unfortunately
Rennes defender Mbia stopped the ball on the line! It
was a beautiful shot from Hosni but he was unlucky.

Strasbourg didn’t succeed in equalising despite four
or five dangerous attacks. And it was perhaps even more frustrating
that Rennes had only had one chance in the whole match!
Hosni was one of the best players for Strasbourg and he played
the full game. Since his come-back, he has played very well
in every match, but his team and him are always waiting for
some luck which will bring them success.
Strasbourg are currently 19th with 6 points and at the top
of the relegation zone are Troyes with 10 points. This season
is totally different from last season where Strasbourg played
for the European places. They have now got to play in order
to remain in Ligue 1.
The rest of the season is definitely going to be difficult.
But fans have the next match to look forward to - a tough
test in the UEFA Cup away to Swiss giants Basel.
Hosni will certainly be in the team. In spite of the bad result
of his team, he is regular in his services. He really fights
for his club and he will do everything to recover his team
from this poor start to the French season.
