Afcon 2019: Egypt will be better against DR Congo – Ramzy

Egypt assistant coach Hany Ramzy expects the side to fix errors which were visible in their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Zimbabwe on Friday night.

The host nation sealed a 1-0 win against the Warriors courtesy of a Mahmoud "Trezeguet" Hassan strike before half-time, but the Pharaohs were unimpressive for large periods of the fixture.

Ramzy claims their poor showing was due to the pressure to deliver in the first game, but expects an improvement going forward.

"The starts are always difficult and that affected the team,” Ramzy told an Egyptian television programme on Sunday.
