Mohamed Elneny was the first Arsenal player to get involved in World Cup 2018 when Egypt face Uruguay on 15th June, as both the side kicked-off their World Cup campaign.
Elneny was playing a similar role for Egypt as he does for Arsenal i.e. running around and cover a lot of ground using his stamina to make himself available wherever and whenever needed. Though Mohamed Elneny had a license to go forward and play a free flowing role which is different from his deep playing role at Arsenal.
Mohamed Elneny is poised to control the balance between the pace and passing for Egypt. Despite his free playing role he did not look to control the way Egypt perform.
Yes, he did have a solid game but a player with importance of Elneny needs to make more of an impact.
Arsenal target Lucas Torreira also appeared in the same fixture for Uruguay coming on as a substitute and changing the course of the game as the Uruguayans steal the victory in the dying minutes.
