We needed a match of reference like this one. Tonight was a mix of everything the coach expects from us. It bodes well for the future.

This victory, to win today, will bring peace in my country and that was most important.

What has changed is our state of mind. We had not seen this for a long time.

Before the tournament, everyone agreed we had a lot of talented players. Now we are a team. We are prepared to battle not only a very tough Egypt, but the fans as well.
