Tomorrow, all of us , 40 thousand at the stadium and 100 million Egyptians gather in front of the television screens, to watch Egypt – Guinea match at the beginning of the African Championship journey, I hope it will be a successful start and I pray to God to win it to reach the finals in Cote d’Ivoire.
Our team deserves to win this Championship , our international player, Mohamed Salah, deserves to win it after he recently faced many challenges and overcame them. He is the top scorer of this generation at the African level and he was the reason for reaching the 2018 World Cup after an absence of 30 years, he also won the English Premier League Top Scorer for the third time. He is the permanent candidate to win the title of best player in the world for three years, and he only needs to crown his career by leading his country to a continental championship that supports his right in the Golden Ball at the world level.
The Guinean team is not an easy one in which Salah’s teammate and Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita plays. The Pharaohs have great determination, effort and experience to achieve victory home and away. All the Egyptians back our national team. in this mission. I hope that what happened with the Moroccan Wydad team, in which Al-Ahly club was subjected to adverse circumstances, will not be repeated, but it is the knight’s setback, by the way all of them are representing Egypt.
We are the most worthy of the African Championship, which we have won 7 times, the 8th is close amid the interest and care that Egyptian sports and youth receive in various fields. Our football team reached the final against Cameroon in 2017, and reached the World Cup finals in Russia in 2018, then we reached the finals of Africa cup of nations last year after Senegal beat Egypt on penalty kicks , and with the same penalty kicks and other circumstances related to organizing the play-off in Dakar, we couldn’t manage to reach the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
I pray to God that this team will make us very happy as it deserves to win the championship with national coach No. 17 Ehab Galal. I hope that he will be one of the most successful national coaches -Mahmoud El-Gohary and Hassan Shehata- who led the Pharaohs throughout history and had many achievements. We pray to God to Grant Egypt victory.
