Egypt manager, Javier Aguirre has disclosed that he likes praising his full team instead of singling out only Mohamed Salah.
The African team are seen as one of the favorites ahead of the Afcon competition because of their amazing talents and the Liverpool star and Javier has shown he is focused on unity.
His words, “Mohamed Salah is a player in my team, just like the remaining 22 players. All of them are Egypt’s players,”
“Reaching this stage is very important, Salah is like the rest of the players and has equal chances, but he is also a very special player.”
On how tough his group is, Javier shared, “Zimbabwe deserve to be in the competition, they are a strong side. Our first game will be very important because it’s the opening game of the tournament, which will put pressure on us.
“However, we will play our usual game against Zimbabwe because we respect them very much. We prepared very well for this difficult game, which we must win.
“Right now, we are only thinking of the Zimbabwe game. The four teams will seek to win every game to qualify.”
