Egypt and AS Roma star Mohammed Salah has warned that there are no easy games at AFCON ahead of the clash against Uganda Cranes.
On pedigree and on paper, the clash between The Pharaohs and The Cranes on Saturday at Port Gentil looks like David versus Goliath but Salah doesn’t believe so.
“All the Africa Cup of Nations games are difficult,” said Salah.
The Roma star, arguably Hector Cuper’s most trusted gun in terms of delivery was limited to little contribution against Mali as the West Africans matched the North Africans pound for pound leaving Egyptian fans frustrated.
“I don’t think fans will agree when you play well and lose or not qualify for the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations,” Salah told an Egyptian television
“Every coach has his way of playing. Cuper’s tactics are very good and more applicable with the players. Who said that we don’t perform well during the games?”
Salah is expected to be the go to man as the seven-time African champions lock horns in a fixture they must pick points to stay in contention for an eighth title.
