dat de Farao's een van de sterkste teams van Afrika blijven.<\/p>\n<p>In een videoverklaring relativeerde Rohr elke suggestie dat Benin Egypte \u201cvan de troon zou stoten\u201d en hield hij vol dat zijn spelers de uitdaging met nederigheid en volledige focus moeten benaderen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWij zijn geen favorieten om Egypte te verslaan,\u201d zei Rohr. \u201cEgypte is een groot team in Afrika, met grote kwaliteit en ervaring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De coach van Benin wees op de geschiedenis van Egypte en de kracht van hun selectie, en merkte op dat het confronteren van de zevenvoudig AFCON-kampioenen altijd een moeilijke taak is, vooral gezien het niveau van hun spelers en de druk die komt met het dragen van het nationale shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Rohr voegde eraan toe dat Benin zich serieus zal voorbereiden en zal proberen een sterke prestatie neer te zetten, maar zonder te doen alsof de wedstrijd gemakkelijk is of dat de machtsverhoudingen zijn veranderd.<\/p>\n<p>Hij onderstreepte dat het doel van zijn team is om te concurreren en het Egypte moeilijk te maken, terwijl ze ook leren van de ontmoeting en de groep blijven opbouwen voor de volgende uitdagingen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benin head coach Gernot Rohr said his side are not the favorites to overcome Egypt, stressing that the Pharaohs remain
