CAIRO: Mozambique manager Mart Nooij revealed he will resort to a man-to-man strategy in Egypt s game on Saturday.
We will man-mark Egypt forwards because they are so fast, Nooij was quoted as saying in Angolan press on Thursday.
The Pharaohs hit three past Nigeria in Group C opener, with Emad Meteb, Captain Ahmed Hassan and debutant Mohamed Geddo Nagi all on the score sheet.
Borussia Dortmund striker Mohamed Zidan also put on an impressive display despite failing to score.
Egypt, who won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2008, are favorites to win especially after Mozambique s average performance in the 2-2 draw with Benin.
We will try to defend well, hit back on the break and see what we can get from the game.
Egypt s game is difficult and so will be Nigeria s clash. But we hope we can clinch a positive result.
