Tau receives recognition in Egyptian league

PERCY Tau is enjoying the new lease of life in Egypt. The Al Ahly attacker was selected for the Egyptian

Premier League Team of the Month for November thanks to his dazzling form for the Eagles.

After a nightmare stint in the second half of the season at English

Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, Tau opted to join the African Club of the Century.

Some members of the football fraternity felt his move was a downgrade, while others believed that it would revive his career under Pitso Mosimane who worked with him at Mamelodi Sundowns before he went to Europe.

Thus far on his return to Africa, Tau has lit up the Egyptian League. He’s scored five goals in his last six matches, while bagging the Man of the Match and Player of the Week accolades twice respectively.

In the greater scheme of things, that scintillating form by Tau and Co. has ensured that Al Ahly are sitting at the summit of the standings with a 100% record. They’ve won all six matches since the start of the league season.

No doubt that impressive start has also taken the pressure off the shoulders of Mosimane who was beleaguered after losing out on the title to arch-rivals Zamalek, despite retaining the continental crown at the expense of Kaizer Chiefs.
