Expressing confidence in the team's spirit, he added, "God willing, there is no worry about the Round of 16 encounter, and the true essence of the Egyptian national team will shine in the upcoming rounds. Without any arrogance, we are Egypt, and it doesn't matter who we face in the Round of 16; we are the source of concern for our opponents."

As fans await Egypt's next move in the tournament, Trezeguet's words echo the determination of a team poised for success, ready to bring glory back to their football-loving nation.
