Egyptians Full of Praise for the Dragons Ahead of the Match

The coach of the Egyptian national team, Shawky Gharib, will debut on the bench of this national team tonight in the match against the BiH national team. Ahead of the match, Gharib is cautious and full of praise for the “Dragons“, reports the oldest Cairo daily “Al-Ahram“, as relayed by the BiH news agency Patria (NAP).

- We haven't played against such a strong team in a long time. The match against Bosnia and Herzegovina will be useful for us, it is a national team that is 17th in the world and they have several excellent players. We could have played against a more modest national team and easily won, but we didn't want to do that – said Gharib.

One of Egypt's best players, winger Ahmed Elmohamady, says their team likes to play against strong teams like BiH.

- This is a new generation for Egypt, and playing against strong teams from Europe and South America is very useful. We didn't do that with the former coach – says Elmohamady. The BiH - Egypt match is being played tonight in Innsbruck starting at 18:30.
