DRC determined to prove its return to the football scene in match against Egypt
As part of the round of 16 of CAN 2023, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces Egypt in a crucial match. Congolese players are determined to prove their worth and make a return to the African football scene.
During a press conference, Congolese player Samuel Moutoussamy stressed that the team is preparing in the best way for this match. He emphasizes the importance of remaining lucid, focused and determined to produce a high-level performance. Despite the difficulty of playing against a major African nation like Egypt, Moutoussamy says the DRC has a case to make.
Confrontations between Egypt and the DRC have always been intense. In the four previous meetings in the African Cup of Nations, the Pharaohs have won three victories against only one defeat. The teams have also faced each other twice in the knockout stage of the tournament, with the DRC winning the semifinals in 1974 and Egypt winning the quarterfinals in 2006. In both cases, the winner was then won the tournament.
Despite these past confrontations, Moutoussamy emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present and what will happen on the ground. He puts aside the DRC’s past victories against Egypt and focuses on the goal of triumphing, even if it promises to be difficult.
The match between the DRC and Egypt promises to be exciting and decisive for the rest of the competition. Congolese players are motivated and ready to give everything to prove that they are back on the African football scene.
