Egypt Coach Rains Fire, Says Nigeria Will Not Get The Olympic Ticket

The national Under-23 coach of Egypt, Hossam El-Badry, has vowed to stop Nigeria’s Dream Team VI from going through to the knockout stages of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations and then consequently getting the ticket to Rio 2016 Olympic games.

El-Badry boasted that despite their 1 – 1 draw against Algeria in their opening encounter at the ongoing championship in Senegal, his team will beat Nigeria and Mali and progress to the semi-finals.
The tactician however blamed goal keeper Mosaad Awad for his lack of concentration which allowed USM Alger attacking midfielder Zinedine Ferhat equalized for Algeria, after Mahmoud ‘Kahraba’ Abdel-Moneam  had put his team ahead in the 54th minute.

He said: “Keeper Awad’s error cost the team a goal but such kind of errors are frequent in football.”
“We were close to winning the game, especially in the first half, but we failed to capitalise on our goal-scoring chances.

“We didn’t lose the game. There are two matches remaining in the group phase and we are determined to earn positive results in these games to advance into the semis.” 
The flying Eagles will square-up against the Egyptians who will be looking forward to their first win at the tournament against Nigeria on Wednesday December 2, 2015.
