Tunisia is optimistic about the semi-final ruling against Egypt... and is betting on the "absences of the Pharaohs"
Tonight, all eyes will turn to the Arab Cup semi-final, where the expected summit between the Egyptian and Tunisian teams will be held at the "974" stadium in the Qatari capital, Doha.
And the media confirmed that tickets for the match have run out, which is expected to witness great excitement, especially with the club that is famous for the confrontations of Tunisia and Egypt, where they met before in 35 confrontations, Egypt won 13, compared to 14 victories for Tunisia, and a draw in 8 matches.
The tournament's organizing committee revealed the referee who will run the match, the Iranian Ali Reza Faghani.
Tunisians are optimistic about this ruling, according to the newspaper "Al-Shorouk", as he previously managed for them the Mauritania match in the first round, which is their first in the tournament, and they won it by five goals.
Faghani is assisted in managing the match by his compatriot Mohamed Reda and German Christian Getalmann.
The Tunisian newspaper, "Al-Shorouk", said that the Tunisian national team camp is seeking to take advantage of prominent absences in the ranks of Egypt, such as Hamdi Fathi, Ahmed Hegazy and Ayman Ashraf, in addition to the expected absence of goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy.
On the other hand, Egypt has a Portuguese coach, Quiros, who is famous for his good reading of matches, and he may repeat the scenario of the Algeria match, in which Egypt clearly excelled tactically.
