“I met with the President yesterday,” he stated. The President cornered me when I went to the villa to get something else, and I told him that the Eagles had qualified, so that’s how we’re going to continue until we win the tournament.
He said, “I should let the players know that, although he wasn’t too impressed with the last game, he knows they will make an even bigger impression on him now that they are out of the group stages.”

And the President is urging you and also showing an understanding of the game because he knows that there is a lot of caution at the group stage and from the round of 16, you are going to be more impressive.
“I recall that Egypt as a nation struggled to qualify in 2022 in Cameroon, but they managed to play in the finals.”
