TACTICAL ANALYSIS: How Pyramids embarrassingly extinguished Gor Mahia’s CAF Champions League hopes

Pyramids FC delivered a masterclass in positional manipulation and aggressive counter-pressing as they secured a rampant 5-1 victory (7-1 aggregate) over Kenyan champions Gor Mahia at Cairo’s 30 June Stadium.Download our Mozzart Sport app for more newsHeading into the contest carrying a two-goal deficit from the first leg in Nairobi, K’Ogalo faced a steep hill to climb against one of the continent’s most tactically refined setups.What unfolded on the pitch was a ruthless exploitation of structural flaws, high-turnover pressing mechanics, and devastating verticality.Both managers deployed a 4-2-3-1 as their base visual diagram on paper, but the operational behaviours out of possession and in possession produced vastly different spatial realities.##NAJAVA_MECA_9953581##Pyramids FC lined up with Ahmed El Shenawy in goal, shielded by central defenders Sami Ahmed and Eyad El Askalany.

Why is Sancho still a free agent?

At first glance, it may seem a little strange that Jadon Sancho still does not have a club. He is only 26, an occasional England international, and not so long ago Manchester United paid Borussia Dortmund 85 million euros for him… He looks like a no-brainer for any club, given that he is a free agent and there is no transfer fee to pay… And yet, there is still not a single concrete offer on the table. According to foreign media reports, Sancho’s agents are working very hard to find him a new club. The winger has no intention of sitting out either, especially after a poor season at Aston Villa, where he spent the previous campaign on loan from United, and feels the need to prove himself.##TWITTER_
