The former Pharaohs of Egypt manager expressed optimism on his players

The white and blues’ coach is optimistic: “I believe in my players. 

“We are alive and feeling strong. We want to go to San Mamés, play a good match, win, and wait.

” Winning at San Mamés is not easy for any team, Athletic is a strong and solid match with hopes to play in European competitions but we need to look for the match and see what happens”.

 “We may win the six points and not reach our goal because it does not depend exclusively on us.

“We have fought on all the matches except for two or three in which we did not.”
