Urgent| In the footsteps of the nightingale… "Super forgotten" When chance gives you the kiss of life
When chance leads you to change your fate for the better, you must cling to it, which is what Nasser Mansi, the Zamalek club striker, did.
A fateful decision in Mansi’s career
Before the night of September 27, Mansi was in limbo. He was excluded from the accounts of the Board of Directors and the technical staff of Zamalek Club, and he was supposed to be excluded from the team’s list that would travel. To Saudi Arabia to compete in the African Super Championship against Al-Ahly Club.
But in a bold decision, Gomez decided to have Mansi travel with the team, and sit on the bench, to be relied upon if the scenario required. The meeting.
Super Mansi
Indeed, in the 76th minute, Gomez decided to include Mansi at the expense of Saif Al-Din Al-Jaziri, who did not offer anything in the match.
The most optimistic fans did not imagine Zamalek wanted Mansi to add something new to the match that was heading towards crowning the Red Giant with the championship.
But Mansi held on to the great opportunity, and decided to reward his coach, who put his full trust in him. One minute after coming on, he succeeded in scoring the equalizing goal, so the match went to penalty kicks, which smiled for the Whites and won the championship for the fifth time in history.
From this moment, Nasser Mansi’s name changed to “Nasser Super”, or "Nasser Forgot the Legend" As he likes to be called.
Mansi scattered papers and changed plans, after he was close to leaving and joining the National Bank team, everyone stuck to him.
Mansi continued with Zamalek, and the current season got off to the best start. Possible. Mansi scored 4 goals in 4 matches he played with the team. He started in two matches.
A major transformation in his performance and movements on the field. He appeared focused and carried out the technical director’s instructions competently, to impose himself. He took control of everyone and changed his fate for the better.
After he was subjected to taunts from those around him because of his poor performance with the team, he found himself being carried on their necks after the African Super Championship.
History repeats itself
When Nightingale Abdel Halim Ali joined Zamalek club from Eastern Company (formerly Al-Sharqia Dukhan), in 1999, he scored 10 goals in his first season with Al-Abyad.
