CAIRO: Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan is looking forward to an extraordinary display against England in Wednesday s friendly match.
Hassan and Co. tackle the Three Lions at Wembley, one month after clinching a third straight African Cup of Nations title in Angola.
This game is very important for us because we want to maintain our good form and preserve our rank (among FIFA s top 10), the Ahly midfielder told reporters.
I think if we want to win, we ll have to produce an extraordinary performance as we face a very tough opponent.
Hassan is set to make his 173rd appearance for the national team after he had broken Hossam Hassan s record of most caps won.
The 35-year-old needs five more matches to become the world s all-time most capped international, a record currently held by Saudi Arabia s Mohamed Al-Daeyea.
