Congo is dangerous, Cuper warns Pharaohs

Egypt national team coach Hector Cuper says Congo are a dangerous outfit, but believes his side is well prepared to get a win.
The two nations are set to lock horns in a 2018 FIFA World Cup, Group E qualifier on Sunday in Alexandria as the hosts are out to reach their first tournament in 28 years. Speaking to AhramOnline, Cuper admits the Red Devils are a good team with players who have individual brilliance. “Congo is a good team combining players with great individual skill, but we are ready for the game,” Cuper said. “We have studied Congo well. We will be focusing on their weak points, but we are not sure about their squad for the next game, especially since they may call up new people.” Furthermore regarding his future, the Argentine added that the Egyptian Football Association will decide his destiny. “I am committing with the team until the World Cup, but if the fans or the Football Association want my departure, I will definitely leave,” adds the manager. “We may play the Congo game with two strikers. Some say the team is lacking character and it’s my mistake. “I apologise for that, but the positive thing is we already won 75 percent of the games we have played.”

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says President Buhari is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. The Minister  said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills. He drew example from Malayia where he said when the nation was in chaos, they had to bring in 93-year-old, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as a prime minister. When he was asked to speak on the seeming fatigued persona president Buhari has been noticed to have in recent times, Ngige said “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 per cent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor; I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President...
