Unbelievably debuting with Liverpool, Salah scored 44 goals. However, head coach, Hector Cooper, who heads the team for the first time, says that due to advice last year, the team that reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, there are many players who can perform amazingly.
Cooper told the BBC Television, "We are not the national team of Mohammed Salah, there are several players on this team who cooperate with each other to reach the best results. Egypt is fortunate that this generation has the best of the world players out of them but our strategy does not completely revolve around it. "
Uruguay's preparations for the tournament have been relatively free of drama, and La Celeste won 3-0 in a warm-up match in Uzbekistan. Although there is pressure on Oscars Taber, who is playing for the fourth time in the World Cup.
Uruguay did a fantastic performance in the last two World Cups. In 2010 World Cup, this South American country had achieved fourth place. In Brazil in 2014, though the team was eliminated from the final-16. Uruguay's team is more experienced in FIFA World Cup. Egypt's hopes for entry into the knockout round depends largely on the Salah and their players.
Whereas, in the previous match between Russia vs Saudi Arabia, Russia bagged the victory with a score of 5-0.
