Bob Bradley is confident his side would be able to maintain their fine start to their World Cup qualifying campaign when they meet Guinea in a tough game on Sunday in Conakry.
Both sides are vying to become the sole Group G leaders after kicking off their campaign with convincing wins, with Egypt beating Mozambique 2-0 in Alexandria and Guinea claiming a 1-0 away victory over Zimbabwe.
A win for Egypt might be crucial in putting them in the driving seat as they seek to end a long World Cup drought stretching back to 1990 when they made their last appearance in Italy.
“It will be a difficult game. Guinea are a very good team, who boast some pacey players, especially on the flanks,” said Bradley, whose first competitive match in charge of Egypt saw them beat Mozambique with two second-half goals from Mahmoud Fathallah and Mohamed Zidan.
“Attacking duo Ibrahima Traore and Sadio Diallo pose constant threats to opponents, we will keep a close eye on them during the game.
“I trust the abilities of my players and I’m sure they can get a good result. I believe in them,” Bradley added
“The circumstances we are facing are too hard, but I’m not the person who can give up,”
“This is my job, and I should work in accordance with the situation we are facing. I’m responsible for the team and my objective is clear: qualifying for the World Cup.” Bradley added.
Egypt Starting lineup:
Essam El-Hadary – Ahmed Elmohamady, Ahmed Hegazy, Mahmoud Fathallah, Mohamed Abdel-Shafi – Hosni Abd-Rabou, Mohamed El-Nenny, Mohamed Salah, Mohamed Abou-Treika, Ahmed Temsah – Mohamed Nagy “Gedo”.
