South Africa Not Scared Of Salah, Marmoush – Broos

South Africa coach Hugo Broos has revealed that they are not scared of Egypt’s duo of Mohammed Salah, and Omar Marmoush ahead of their clash on Friday.

Both sides will battle it out at the Stade Adrar Stadium in Agadir, as both sides target a second group stage victory.

South Africa opened their campaign with a 2-1 win over Angola, while Egypt also recorded an identical scoreline victory over Zimbabwe.

Marmoush scored the equaliser for Egypt against Zimbabwe, while Salah scored the winning goal.

Broos said he has no special plans to stop Marmoush, and Salah on Friday.

He said: “We are focused on no one. The most important thing is the team.

“We all know how good Salah is, we all know how good Marmoush is and we all know how good Trezeguet is and other players. They are such a good team. Why should we focus on one player? We have to be prepared to beat the team.

“We have to put Egypt in difficult (situations) and you can only do that when you use your quality and the players you normally use.”

The last meeting between the two sides in AFCON ended in South Africa’s favor in a 1-0 victory in the 2019 edition of the tournament.
