The coach of the Egyptian national football team, Carlos Queiroz, confirmed that his main goal with Egypt is to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, stressing at the same time that “Egypt will not go to Cameroon for a picnic.” This came during a press conference yesterday by the coach, with the start of the closed camp for the "Pharaohs", in preparation for the participation in the African Nations Cup in Cameroon, which will be held between 9 and 6 February. Queiroz said that the competition in the African Championship will be very difficult, due to logistical problems. He stressed, "My main goal is to qualify for the World Cup, but the rest of the tournaments we participate in are also important and we have to win them." On the reason for excluding Mohamed Magdy (Afsha) and Tariq Hamed, Queiroz said: “Selecting players is a matter for the coach only, and this is my responsibility. We study all the information and details about the players, whether physically, mentally or psychologically, and we know very well what competition we will face, and the shape of the opponents. We will face strong teams, some of which include 24 players out of 25 professionals in Europe.
