Mohamed Salah: Egypt Are Not Favourites For Africa Cup of Nations

Mohamed Salah: Egypt Are Not Favourites For Africa Cup of Nations

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah insists Egypt are not favourites for the Africa Cup of Nations title ahead of their opening game.

The seven-time African champions start their campaign against Nigeria on Tuesday evening.

Egypt were dumped out at the round of 16 stage by South Africa when they hosted the tournament in 2019, but Salah is hoping to get his hands on the trophy this time.

"We are not the favorites to win the Africa Cup of Nations, but we will do our best to reclaim the title," he told reporters, as per Kingfut.

"I am only one of eleven players that represent Egypt. We will do everything we can to come on top in tomorrow's match and in the tournament as a whole.

"We have to work very hard to live up to our expectations, playing every game as a team to win.

"I am yet to win my first title with Egypt, it would be an honor to win the AFCON, it's been ten years since I started representing my country, and lifting the trophy would mean a lot to me."
