Upon returning in 2016, he became first choice for club and country
After fulfilling a dream against FC Bayern München, a podium finish now looms
Mental strength plays a key role in every sport, and football is no exception. Many players have great potential yet never manage to fulfil it. To do that and enjoy an enduring career, resilience and the ability to deal with pressure are essential.
A case in point is Al Ahly SC and Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy, who only played one official game during his first spell at the club in 2008. It was against ENPPI Club, and the Red Devils, having already wrapped up the Egyptian league, fielded a team of youngsters and regular substitutes. The ensuing three-goal defeat did nothing to enhance the reputation of the young keeper, who did not start another game and was soon deemed surplus to requirements.
