Former Egypt international Ali Abu Greisha has said Portuguese coach Roy Vitoria needs some time to get to know the players, noting that he respects former team coach Carlos. Queiroz.

Abu Greisha said: “Vitoria needs time to get to know the players and start working with the Egyptian national team and it’s too early to judge him. I’ve been at odds with Queiroz since he arrived but I respected him because of his push with young players and his desire to renew the blood but Vitoria needs time and I won’t judge him.” The last one before watching the next national team matches.

He continued: “Vitoria has nothing to comment on because he still doesn’t know some of the players and hasn’t dealt with them, but it’s possible that things will get better after the next two games.”

He concluded: “Of course Vitoria made a mistake in his statements that he is not obligated to win the Africa Cup of Nations or qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. If he is not required to do so, then why did the Football Association contract him? for 4 years?
