The head coach of Manchester United Jose Mourinho, who works on Russian television as an expert, assessed the chances of the Russian national team in the match against Egypt.

On the eve of the match, the opening of the tournament, the Russians defeated the national team of Saudi Arabia with a score of 5: 0.

Despite such a confident yesterday's victory, Mourinho does not believe that the team of Stanislav Cherchesov will be able to repeat the same thing in a match with the Egyptians.

"I do not want to say that Salah is the fastest in the world, but he is one of the fastest. He is good with the ball and without the ball, he can beat and can break into the free space behind the backs of the defenders ".

"Russia will have to play very carefully in defense, they need to improve their actions with the loss of the ball".

"Egypt can disappoint the hosts of the tournament. I do not think that Russia will score a lot, and this I say after 5-0 ".

"The upcoming match will be decisive for both teams for withdrawing from the group", - transmits the words of Mourinho The Express.

The duel between Russia and Egypt will be held on June 19 and will begin at 21:00 Kyiv time.
