With
stalwarts like veteran striker Hossam Hassan, Hani
Ramzy and goalkeeper Nader el Sayed reaching the
twilight of their careers, Egypt have had to bring new
and younger players into their squad.
The most exciting is
Ajax Amsterdam striker Ahmed Hossam, who is already
being labelled the new Hassan.
Egypt reached the
semi-finals of the World U20 Championships in
Argentina last July, so have a solid core of
youngsters coming through.
Gohary is keen to
shake off the disappointment of failing to reach the
World Cup, but in a group which includes Senegal and
Tunisia, merely qualifying for the quarter-finals may
prove too tough a task.
