Belgium will have to prove their mettle when they face Egypt on Monday in this World Cup. Belgium is in Group G. The team is considered the strongest in this. But Egypt itself will also be confident, because the last time these two teams met, the African team won.
Egypt will also be confident that they have the ability to stop one of the powers of European football. Entering the World Cup in North America, Belgium is considered a team that will go a long way. Belgium came third in the 2018 World Cup, which is their best result in the history of the tournament. But it is said that the players of that generation are very few in the current team.
The Belgian team still has Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Theo Cotillard as key players, but coach Rudi Garcia has also given opportunities to new players. Such emerging players include Jeremy Doucoux, Amando Anana and Charles de Ketlere. Belgium's style of play is to play with great control of the ball. Egypt, on the other hand, is a team that emphasizes defense. The team's strategy will be more based on 'counter' attacks.
This task will be carried out by Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmosa. Egypt is playing its fourth World Cup and has not won a single match so far. Egypt is the most successful team in Africa and has won the Africa Cup of Nations seven times, but has not yet won a single match in the World Cup. Egypt defeated Belgium 2-1 in a friendly match in November 2022.
When the match between these two teams starts, it will be a reunion between coach Garcia and Salah. Well, it will be against each other. When Salah was a player at AS Roma, Garcia was the team's coach. Only then did Salah leave Roma and go to Liverpool. Garcia still believes that Salah is a very good player.
He said, 'We have respect for all the rival teams in our group. "That's what the World Cup is all about. We know everything about Egypt. Egypt is the best team in Africa, I know everything about Salah." For Egypt, the team's potential performance will depend entirely on Sahel. Salah was unable to shine in the 2018 World Cup due to injury.
This time, Belgium is considered the 'dark horse' of the tournament. But Garcia says his team's biggest goal for now is to reach the knockout stage. "First of all, we want to win this group. We'll see what happens after that." However, at least on paper, Belgium is a strong team and the team can be expected to collect 3 points in the first match. Egypt has nothing to lose in this match, because it is also capable of embarrassing Belgium.
