Liverpool and Egypt player, Mohamed Salah has said the ongoing African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) is the most important competition to him.
Salah has won all major team trophies at club level including the UEFA Champions League and English Premier League, but the furnished winger is yet to win a trophy with his country, Egypt.
“I lost it in Gabon 2017 against Cameroon in the final, but I can assure you that it is the trophy that I want to win most. I work to win it and that is the story with all the Egyptian players present here, Salah said
“AFCON is an extremely difficult competition and from the start, you have seen that even the best teams are struggling to win,” recalled the Liverpool striker.
Egypt, with its seven trophies, is there to win the 2021 edition of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, but that requires a big performance on Wednesday against Côte d’Ivoire.
“Before thinking of revenge against Cameroon, we will have to overcome several giant sides,” he said.
“Against Cote d’Ivoire it won’t be easy, but our team is gaining momentum. It will be a very tight match,” concluded Salah.
