Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Egypt coach Carlos Queiroz said Tuesday he will not be swayed by critics of his underperforming team as the seven-time Africa Cup of Nations champions target a spot in the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n

The Pharaohs take on Sudan in Yaounde on Wednesday knowing a draw will be enough to send them through to the last 16, where they would face the winners of Group E, and a possible showdown with Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Egypt lost 1-0 to Nigeria in their opening match in Garoua but bounced back to beat Guinea-Bissau by the same scoreline thanks to a goal from star man Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

Queiroz has come under fire for his tactics, with Egypt yet to hit their stride and demonstrate they are capable of ending a 12-year wait for another continental crown.<\/p>\n

“We’re living in a different world (with Covid-19), a different society, a different football,” Queiroz told a news conference.<\/p>\n

“The only thing that didn’t change is criticisms for ourselves (coaches).”<\/p>\n

“The coach can’t make a magic situation,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We’re doing our best and people on TV or in the media criticise. This is part of the show, we need to be ready for this event.”<\/p>\n

Asked to explain Egypt’s strategy and positioning of players, Queiroz dryly replied that was not his problem.<\/p>\n

“I advise you to hire some experts to read the game and then you will see in which formation we play,” he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles face Guinea-Bissau in their final group game in Garoua on Wednesday having already secured a place in the last 16 as winners of their section with two victories from two outings, including one over Mohamed Salah’s Egypt.<\/p>\n

“I wanna say that tomorrow’s match is a decisive match. If Guinea-Bissau wants to advance\/pass, it has to win the game, it’s our obligation. I think we’re focused on that. We’re going to do our job\/give our best, as always, so that in the end we make a good (happy) result,” said Baciro Cande, Guinea-Bissau coach.<\/p>\n
