Egypt head coach, Carlos Queiroz, has insisted that his team is a one-man show.
The Pharaohs defeated Morocco 2-1 on Sunday, to qualify for the semi-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
Queiroz’s men had to come back from a goal down, with Mohamed Salah levelling the scores, after Morocco had taken the lead thanks to Soufiane Boufal’s penalty.
Salah then fed Mahmoud Hassan ‘Trezeguet’ to net the winner in extra time.
Queiroz is however adamant that his players are playing as a team because they want to win.
“I have great players. We deserved to win today (Sunday) because we dominated the game after going behind.
“We are not a one-man team and I reject this description because the team plays collectively and everyone wants to win. We play together, we suffer together, we create opportunities together and score together.
“Today Mohamed (Salah) was great, but this is what is expected of the best player in the world, but there is teamwork, and everyone is working for one goal, whether on or off the pitch and this is what develops performance,” Queiroz told the media after the game as quoted by Kingfut.
