Regarding the criticism regarding the weakness of the Egypt group in the qualifiers, he explained: “The team suffered before against smaller teams, but now Nigeria and Cameroon are in the playoffs, while Cape Verde, which Egypt beat with a score of 3-0, was unable to qualify for the 2025 African Nations, and this confirms the strength of what It was achieved.”
He added: “What was achieved was not a coincidence, but rather the result of effort and struggle, and whoever does not see that does not want to rejoice in the team’s achievement.”
