Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Egypt captain, Mohamed Salah, has finally spoken about his side\u2019s defeat to Nigeria at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.<\/p>\n

Salah insisted that Egypt had to rearrange themselves after their 2021 AFCON opening 1-0 loss to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Recall that Nigeria defeated Egypt 1-0 in their first 2021 AFCON encounter on January 11 at the Roumd\u00e9 Adjia Stadium, Garoua.<\/p>\n

Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal of the match in the first half to give Augustine Eguavoen\u2019s men all three points against Egypt.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Egypt defeated Guinea-Bissau 1-0 on Saturday night, the Liverpool forward told CAFonline. \u201cWe have a new coach and a new generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the defeat against Nigeria, we had to rearrange ourselves. We will fight in this tough competition and believe in our chances and where we can go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The result against Guinea-Bissau means Egypt moved to second position in Group D.<\/p>\n

The North Africans are three points behind Nigeria who earlier booked their knockout stage place with a convincing 3-1 over Sudan.<\/p>\n
