Egypt’s coach has admitted that his side would have preferred a group featuring North African opponents whose playing styles they understand well.
He said matches against Algeria, Tunisia, or Morocco tend to be tactical and predictable — “like facing cousins who know your every move.”

Instead, Egypt landed Zimbabwe and South Africa — sides he described as awkward, fast, and capable of punishing the smallest lapse.
He joked that they resemble Crystal Palace against Liverpool: dangerous even when least expected. “Against them,” he warned, “you only realise the damage when it’s too late.”
