Osama Nabih, the coach of the Egyptian U-20 national football team, refused to describe his participation in the Youth World Cup as a failure, stressing that the exit from the tournament in the first round was not due to poor results, but rather due to the warning lists.

Nabih said during statements on MBC Misr 2: “We achieved victory over Chile on its home soil and among its fans, in a difficult and new atmosphere for Players, so I do not consider the experience a failure. I have a strong resume, and had it not been for the number of yellow cards, we would have qualified for the next round of the World Cup.”

He added: “When I took over the job, all I was required to do was try to qualify for the World Cup, especially since the tournament was scheduled in Côte d’Ivoire with a difficult group that included Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa, before it was moved to Egypt and the format was changed.” “Competition.”

The youth team coach explained that the exit from the tournament was due to the list, saying: “Japan was better than us technically and physically, and in the New Zealand match we were better according to statistics, but success escaped us.”
