afgelopen jaren meer baat heeft gehad bij lokaal actieve spelers dan bij spelers uit het buitenland, en stelt dat de binnenlandse groep vaak het verschil heeft gemaakt in cruciale momenten.<\/p>\n<p>Over de samenstelling van het huidige Egyptische elftal benadrukte Gomaa dat verschillende spelers uit de Egyptische competitie een grotere impact en consistentie hebben getoond dan sommige professionals die in het buitenland spelen, waarbij hij wees op hun betere vorm en invloed binnen het team.<\/p>\n<p>Gomaa legde uit dat het niveau van de speler in het nationale team de belangrijkste maatstaf moet zijn, en niet de locatie van zijn club, en voegde daaraan toe dat selectie gebaseerd moet zijn op wie presteert en resultaten levert in wedstrijden voor Egypte.<\/p>\n<p>Hij benadrukte ook het belang van evenwicht in de selectie, en merkte op dat het hebben van professionals in het buitenland waardevol is, maar dat dit niet ten koste mag gaan van spelers die zich wekelijks bewijzen in de binnenlandse competitie.<\/p>\n<p>De opmerkingen van Gomaa komen te midden van een voortdurend debat in Egypte over de rol van in het buitenland spelende voetballers, waarbij de oud-international herhaalt dat lokale spelers naar zijn mening de spelers uit het buitenland hebben overtroffen in het nationale team.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Egypt defender Wael Gomaa believes the national team have benefited more from locally based players than from expatriates in
