The coach of Egypt's national team says Mohamed Salah is fully focused on the upcoming tournament despite the noise around his club situation. Hossam Hassan stated the forward's energy in training has been remarkable, showing high motivation as they prepare for their opening match. Salah did not start in Liverpool's final games before the break, and public comments after a draw fueled speculation about a potential transfer. Hassan dismissed the situation as a common occurrence between players and coaches, noting their contact with Salah confirmed his complete concentration on the continental competition.
Salah is aiming to win the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time with Egypt, having lost in two previous finals. Hassan expressed confidence in his star player, suggesting that time with the national team often revitalizes him, leading to strong performances. He believes Salah needs to secure the trophy for both the team and his own legacy. Egypt will play Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Angola in their group stage, with all games scheduled in Agadir.
