This synchronization among the attacking elements was one of the match’s significant technical gains, reflecting the high readiness of the team and achieving the objectives set for the friendly encounter.
The coach pointed out that facing the Egyptian national team was a true test and a heavy measure, as it offered a valuable opportunity to gauge the players’ readiness and carefully evaluate performance before the World Cup competition begins.
