Quotes:
“It will be very difficult for us [against Morocco]. But we have to get over it and try to win because that would be a very important medal. It would be a huge joy for me to win another medal for another country. First the gold medal with Brazil [at Rio 2016], and now a bronze with Egypt. It would be a pride and we will fight to win it.” Rogerio Micale, Egypt coach
