Doku’s Breakneck Pace Sparks Egypt World Cup Prep Alarm
Chaouali cautions Egypt's right flank as Doku's pace is put under the microscope

Doku's Breakneck Pace Sets the Tone

The Tunisian sports commentator Issam Chaouali warned about Manchester City's Jeremy Doku's extraordinary speed.

Doku grabbed attention during Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.

Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch was booked with a yellow card after a robust challenge aimed at slowing Doku in the 24th minute.

Chaouali noted that Doku possesses immense power and pace and that Egypt's Mohamed Hani needs to act quickly before the World Cup.

Egypt are drawn in a group with Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand at the 2026 World Cup.

Chaouali added that Hani should join an early camp and find any way to neutralize Doku.

He joked that coach Hosam Hassan should cover the right flank, and he is ready to help with the coverage.

Punchline 1: If Doku ever slows down, either the traffic lights are broken or he has decided to take a shortcut.

Punchline 2: My calendar just scheduled a Doku-proof week; it lasts 90 minutes and ends with a whistle.
