While teams will be busy marking Mohamed Salah, Abdallah Said can wreak havoc

Mohamed Salah has become a national hero for the Egyptians after the amazing season he had with Liverpool. The English side advanced to the finals of the UEFA Champions League where they will have to face Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid. However, while teams will be busy marking Salah in the upcoming FIFA World Cup, Abdallah Said can do wonders for Egypt.

The 32-year-old attacking midfielder has got only 34 chances to play for his country and has scored 6 goals already. Said plies his trade for the Finnish club KuPS, and with great pace, he can well and truly become Egypt's surprise package. He is expected to be the leader of the Egyptian midfield.
