“Egypt has the best player (Salah) in the world. On paper, the Egyptian national team is better than Nigeria and is the closest to winning, but football is full of surprises. I definitely hope that Egypt win”, he told Mega FM.
On tomorrow’s opponent , he said they are familiar with threat they posses as they played against them twice in a space of one month during the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.
“We know the Guinea-Bissau national team very well. We met twice in the qualifiers for the World Cup a month ago. We are building a strong generation for the future and all the players will participate in their first major international tournament,” he said.
