"I have been in top form since mid September when I completely recovered from the injury I had. I have played five matches already, including one match in the Champions League. I am alright and very happy to be here. The match of Saturday is special because it is the last encounter in 2006 World Cup qualification series. But I don’t want to be under any particular pressure. We will be playing before our supporters and beginning today, we would
get down to work. If we put in the effort that is required and do what we are supposed to do, there is no doubt that we would win the match. So, we don’t have to be under any pressure. I do not know the Egyptian team very well. But I know some of the players of the team. I think we have what it takes to beat the Pharaohs. Our last match against Côte d’Ivoire was excellent. We have a good team and we have shown that we can play good football".
