Mohamed Abou-Treika says he is not after the personal achievement of surpassing Lionel Messi as the Club World Cup leading goalscorer of all time. After his winner against Hiroshima this week, the Ahli ace took his overall World Cup tally to four goals, equaling the record of Barcelona star Messi and Brazilian Denilson. Now the Egypt veteran has a chance to become top scorer as his team prepare to face South American champions Corinthians. “That goal was important only because it helped Ahli win the game," a modest Abou-Treika told FIFA.com. “We all play as one and we all succeed as one. It is not about Abou-Treika. “Individual titles are not important. What is important is for the team to win titles, to win trophies. I am happy to equal Messi's mark, but I succeed when the team succeeds." About the Corinthians game, Abou-Treika believes Ahli are under no pressure to pull off a victory over the Brazilian giants, but indicated they will give it a go. “We are not required to beat Corinthians, who are a big name in world football, but we must do our best," he said. “They are a big team, but we will make our arrangements and do our all to beat them."
