Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, Egypt’s first national team player, played a new piece of music inside the green rectangle, in the Pharaohs’ match against Mauritania, yesterday, Friday, within the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Egyptian national team defeated its Mauritanian counterpart (2-0), one of which was signed by Mahmoud Trezeguet, the top scorer in the current stage for the Pharaohs under the leadership of Hossam Hassan.
Goal machine
Trezeguet has so far scored 5 goals, during 5 official matches played by the Egyptian national team with Hossam Hassan, to establish himself as the top scorer for the Pharaohs, surpassing Mohamed Salah, who is behind him with 3 goals so far.
His goals are influential and decide matches, so they are always decisive in the matches, starting with the match against Burkina Faso, after he scored the two goals that decided the match, then against Botswana by opening the goals of the match with a brace, then yesterday’s match, which he deciphered with his missile goal.
Tactical development
5 goals in different ways left their mark on Mahmoud Trezeguet with the Egyptian national team under the leadership of Brigadier General Hossam Hassan, which indicates the development and tactical intelligence that the player has achieved, and has begun to translate into goals.
The matter is not limited to the idea of changing Trezeguet’s position in some matches thanks to the dean’s touches, through his entry to play in the midfield or his usual participation in the wing position, while the idea also lies in his tactical awareness and how to move and take a scoring position inside the “operations box.”
Here is an analysis of Trezeguet’s position in the five goals he has scored so far, and how he handles the ball and bends it under his feet in this way:
The first goal against Burkina Faso, Trezeguet came from behind, hitting the cross from the move, with a powerful, directed header that went into the net.
While his second goal against Burkina Faso, he came through his favorite game, receiving the ball, then dribbling, and shooting with the necessary force, to send a creeping ball that passed into the net, to alone come away with the three points in the match.

The fast ball and the bounce from deep put Trezeguet in direct contact with the goal, so after the ball bounced off the goalkeeper, the Qatari Al Rayyan winger was waiting for it to enter the net with complete ease.

It was as if he was an attacker who slipped through the middle of the defenders and then raced behind them, receiving the ball alone and scoring it into the goal, thus increasing the Pharaohs’ scoring advantage early.
As for his goal against Mauritania, it is a different story, from what tactical intelligence we are talking about. Watch how he moved backwards to give himself enough space to receive the ball and then shoot it with extreme force, in a game that does not block or return. The goalkeeper watched it, like all of us, as it caressed the net.
Mahmoud Trezeguet is experiencing one of his best scoring and artistic periods with the Egyptian national team, after he continued his visits to the net, and rose to the top scorer in the qualifiers for the 2025 African Cup of Nations with 3 goals.
The Egyptian national team is preparing to face its counterpart, the Mauritania national team, at 7:00 pm next Tuesday, at Sheikha Ould Bedia Stadium, in the capital, Nouakchott, for the matches of the fourth round of the qualifiers.
