Ghana beat Egypt 7-3 on aggregate to book a place in Brazil. And it's
the third consecutive world cup appearance for the Ghanaian National
team.
Ghana went down by two goals to one to the pharaohs at the 30th June
Air Defence stadium this evening.
Just after the Ivorian referee whistles to bring the game to an end,
The News Hunter got intouch with it's Egyptian correspondent Ahmed
Gamel Abdein, and these is how the interaction goes:
AHMED WHAT'S THE MOOD IN EGYPT NOW AFTER THE MATCH?
Good and very civilized, and all i will say is good luck to Ghana in Brazil.
ARE EGYPTIANS JUBILATING OVER THE 2-1 VICTORY?
Yes, We are happy for the good match and friendly manner.
BEFORE THE START OF THE GAME WERE YOU HOPEFUL THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT TO BRAZIL?
Why not? football only know effort and some good luck on your day, it
was 10%. We wanted to win and achieve that.
SO ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU COULDN'T QUALIFY?
Nope, this is football and a sport, Good luck for us next time.
WHOM DO YOU BLAME? COACH OR PLAYING BODY?
Coach for the poor formation in Ghana plus it was a bad day, also the
players didn't prepare well. Don't forget we don't have league for
3years now, Yet Ahly won the champions league and will play in the
world cup for clubs football. So that's our motivation.
DO YOU THINK THE COACH SHOULD BE MAINTAIN OR SACKED?
Ummm…….I don't know but he failed his mission, He knows what the
goal for him coaching Egypt buy he failed, however, it was very tough
for him because of the absent of club league in Egypt now. He only
played friendly matches with some small teams.
So i don't really know.
