Pharaohs of Egypt captain Mohamed Salah says the team is targeting a positive start at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The North Africans will open their campaign against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Tuesday (today) at the Stade Roumde Adjia, Garoua.
“We are not the favourites to win the Africa Cup of Nations, but we will do our best to reclaim the title,” Salah said in his pre-match press conference.
“I’m only one of eleven players that represent Egypt. We will do everything we can to come on top in tomorrow’s match and in the tournament as a whole.
“We have to work very hard to live up to our expectations, playing every game as a team to win.
“I am yet to win my first title with Egypt, it would be an honour to win the AFCON, it’s been ten years since I started representing my country, and lifting the trophy would mean a lot to me.”
