Broos Makes Bold Claim Over Salah, Marmoush Threat

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos says it would be naive to focus individually on the attacking threat of superstar forwards Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Salah.

The Manchester City and Liverpool forwards are the star figures of the current Egypt national team, with major pressure to deliver the performances to drive the North African giants.

Both scored in the 2-1 win over Zimbabwe, a comeback victory at the Ardrar Stadium – where Bafana will face off against the record seven-time champions on Boxing Day.

“We’re not focused on one player, we’re focused on the team, it would be a big mistake to focus on one individual of the Egyptian team, we all know how good Salah is, we all know how good Marmoush is – we all know how good Trezeguet is, it’s such a good team,” he said.

“If we focus on one player? We’re not prepared to beat a team and not say ‘oh Salah or Marmoush didn’t play good in the game’, for us it’s just to focus on beating the team [Egypt].”

The fixture will kick off in Agadir at 17:00.
