Egypt coach Hassan Shehata says that his men are capable of handling the pressure of crucial games, ahead of the Pharaohs' World Cup decider against Algeria on Wednesday. Egypt beat Algeria 2-0 on Saturday to set up the playoff game, which takes place at Merreikh Stadium in Sudan. The former Zamalek star stated during the pre-match news conference that the Egyptian players are professional enough not to be distracted by the opposition fans. He also assured that a three-day recess is sufficient for his team to recharge their batteries before facing the Algerians again. "We are totally familiar with this kind of pressure," Shehata said. "We have also played numerous matches only after 72-hour rest, so that won't be a problem."
