AFCON 2021: Egypt coach reveals how Salah responded to beat against Senegal

Egypt assistant coach, Diyaa El-Sayed, has actually revealed how captain, Mohamed Salah, responded to the Pharaohs ‘2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, last defeat against Senegal on Sunday night. El-Sayed said Salah was ‘dissatisfied’ after Egypt’s AFCON final defeat to Senegal in Cameroon.

He described that the Liverpool star experienced Egypt’s 4-2 charge defeat to Senegal just like an ‘common person’.

Salah was not able to conserve Egypt as they were defeated on charges following a 0-0 attract Yaoundé’s Olembé stadium.

“Salah is a terrific first-rate player, but his attitude is the attitude of a common individual,” El-Sayed, who was standing in for Egypt head coach, Carlos Queiroz, told GOAL.

“When you lose, you have the feelings of loss, which’s what we felt [on Sunday]”

“We were figured out, determined to win, eager to get involved and prosper,” El-Sayed added.

“He’s played in major European competitions and won lots of honours, but he truly wished to win this cup for the country.

“We now want to receive the World Cup with him.

“Salah resembles any other captain of any other team, and he’s really disappointed because he truly wished to attain his objective in this competition.”
