Egypt Will Attack Nigeria In Alexandria- Hector Cuper

Egypt's Hector Cuper has told Samson Siasia that talk is cheap, adding that Nigeria will not be able to survive the full attack of his team in Alexandria on Tuesday. 

Both sides played a 1-1 draw in Kaduna last Friday, but Nigeria

are more under pressure to get result as the lie two points behind the seven time champions in group G in the ongoing qualifiers.

“Siasia has the freedom to say anything but we will attack in Alexandria and will try to win on our pitch,” Cuper was quoted by Egyptian sports outlet  Kingfut  as saying on Sunday.

He added, “We had a strong first half from the tactical side, but in the second half we committed a lot of mistakes and will work on improving.”

Meanwhile, Roma star  Salah said  he breathed a sigh of relief when the referee blew the final whistle  as he was on his way to one-on-one chance to score because hundreds of home fans were watching the game on the side track around the court.

“I breathed a sigh of relief after the ref blew the final whistle,” Salah, 23, told Al-Ahram Daily newspaper.

“I was afraid when I received the ball and was heading directly towards the goal to score what could have been the winner,” Salah said.

“Had I been able to score, I wouldn’t have been able to tell what exactly the fans’ response would be, that’s why I thanked God right after the final whistle.”

Egypt  have not qualified for the  tournament  since winning the last of their record seven trophies in 2010.
