Legia Coach Happy With Ghanem's Attacking Input

Here are the post-game reactions on Ahmed Ghanem's debut at Legia in Poland, which include both the manager's comments and EP Ratings.


Legia's new coach Wdowczyk made a comment on Ghanem after last night's game. "Each of the players will be given his chance and today I decided it will be Ghanem," he explained.

"He had a couple of good move," clarified Wdowczyk.

"I think we all saw his decent dribbling skills and how capable of playing one on one he is."

But Ghanem was expected to be a side back at the club and not a winger, hence some disappointment on first view. The coach continued, "However, he lost the ball twice, which led to dangerous counter-attacks.

"He knows how to play forward but he must learn to avoid losing the ball in a reckless way."

The game ended 2-1 in Legia's favour, thanks to a last minute goal. Ghanem came on for the first time in Poland, in the second half.


EP Ratings:

Lukasz Fabianski 5, Tomasz Kielbowicz 4, Moussa Ouattara 5 (31' Wojciech Szala 6), Marcin Roslon 6, Tomasz Sokolowski 7, Sebastian Szalachowski 6, Lukasz Surma 5, Marcin Burkhardt 3 (67' Aleksandar Vukovic 4), Bartosz Karwan 5, Marcin Chmiest 6 (67' Ahmed Ghanem 6), Piotr Wlodarczyk 7.

The Polish giants Legia , who were unfortunately knocked out of the UEFA Cup Qualifiers, continue their quest for success in the League, and Ghanem may feature more in the coming games, all of which will be covered on EgyptianPlayers.com...
