AFCON: Oliseh overlooks Salah, names most dangerous Egyptian player

Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has snubbed Mohamed Salah and named Omar Marmoush as the most dangerous Egyptian player.

Speaking on the Global Football Insights podcast, the former Juventus midfielder said the Manchester City star was the reason Egypt defeated Ivory Coast 3-2 in the quarter-final.

Oliseh spoke ahead of Egypt’s AFCON semi-final tie with Senegal on Wednesday evening.

“Egypt is also coming into the match with the mindset that we are growing, because in fact, in their first game they didn’t play well, but they got the result,” Oliseh said.

“The most dangerous Egyptian is not Salah, it is Marmoush. He is the one who made it easier for them to beat Ivory Coast.”

Egypt and Senegal head to the game after beating Ivory Coast and Mali, respectively, in the last-8.
