“That is Africa; it’s totally different right here, it is a jungle, they kicked him left, proper and centre. In Europe, the referees will defend you (however) right here no person protects you.
“If you end up in Europe, they’re very structured…however if you come to Africa, it’s totally different, we don’t play to the principles, so, he (Salah) simply couldn’t carry out.”
“I anticipated Senegal to win. Senegal has been a greater workforce. I might have felt so dangerous if Egypt had received it as a result of we (Eagles) had overwhelmed Egypt within the first sport. So, I used to be praying for Egypt to not win it. Senegal was a greater aspect.”
