He noted that they left with 18 players who have what it takes to keep the Clever Boys at bay for the entire duration of the game and that with their objective to enter the group stage paramount of their minds and they won’t allow their foes to stand in their way and their place in the last 16.

“We have said we are not in South Africa for a jamboree and that we have come with the full complement of players that can help us to achieve our aim here,” Abdallah told Goal.

“The players have shown us that they are the most prepared for the game and with the work we have done internally we are expecting a good result at the end of the game.
