A statistic carried out by Confederations Cup sponsors Castrol showed that Egypt playmaker Mohamed Abou-Treika is the man behind the Pharaohs' offensive power. During Egypt's 4-3 loss to Brazil, the Ahli superstar dished out two assists for Mohamed Zidan to score the first and third goal against Carlos Dunga's men. Additionally, Abou-Treika's off the ball movement played its part in setting up Egypt to score their second goal courtesy of a Mohamed Shawky shot.
The statistic mentioned that 89% percent of Abou-Treika's passes were completely successful. The 30-year-old also showed his physical excellence against Brazil by becoming the second most running player with 10542 metres. Shawky was the first after running 10603 metres.
