Missed penalty against Messi's club, Egyptian player had nearly 3 months' salary deducted

TPO - Trezeguet paid the price for his lack of composure in the opening match against Inter Miami. The Egyptian striker stepped up to take a penalty kick and missed. The price he paid was a fine of $300,000.

In the opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Al Ahly faced hosts Inter Miami. In the first half, they were awarded a penalty and Trezeguet stepped up to take it. The 30-year-old shot was wide, giving goalkeeper Ustari a chance to save.

According to assistant Emad El Nahhas, Trezeguet was only third in the penalty taker queue at Al Ahly, but the player disobeyed the coaching staff and took the penalty himself. “There is a sequence of players taking penalties in the match. It is Wissam Abu Ali, then Zizo, Trezeguet, Imam Ashour, Afsha and finally Hamdi Fathi,” said assistant Emad El Nahhas.

Trezeguet's open shot gave the goalkeeper a chance to block it.

The former Premier League striker's stubbornness infuriated Al Ahly. Assistant Emad claimed that he was punished not for missing a penalty but for disobeying the coaching staff. Even if he had scored, he would have been punished. "Trezeguet was punished for disobeying the technical team, and he accepted that. Even if he had scored from the penalty, he would have been punished," said Emad.

Trezeguet's decision made the club's president, Mahmoud El Khatib, very unhappy. This official directly requested the club's leadership to severely punish Trezeguet. A source from Al Ahly confirmed that Trezeguet will have to pay $300,000, which will be deducted from his salary.

With a salary of 1.3 million USD/year, it can be said that Trezeguet, the former Aston Villa striker, has "lost" nearly 3 months of salary because of disobeying the coaching staff. Notably, Trezeguet is only in his first month with Al Ahly, meaning he has lost money before receiving his salary.
