“Our goal is clear; to play a good game and go to the final. We will play against a very good team, Egypt, the most successful team in Africa. They have very good players, including one of the best in the world, namely Mohamed Salah,” said Conceiçao. “My players are motivated to win. We have positive pressure, but our objective is clear, to win the title for the Cameroonian people.”
