Manchester City and Egypt forward Omar Marmoush is of the thought that his country has enough quality to win both the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup.
The versatile attacker boldly claimed that Egypt have the best team on the African continent and that they won’t be making up the numbers at the World Cup.
“We are going to win the Africa Cup of Nations, of course, and then the World Cup,” Marmoush said, as per Foot Africa.
“With the players, the squad, and the quality we have as the Egyptian national team, we are the best team in Africa. We don’t just want to make a name for ourselves by saying: ‘We played in the World Cup’—that’s not enough.
“We’re going to the World Cup to get out of the group stage and show the world who we are.”
