Club World Cup: Pyramids star dismisses Flamengo hype, sends message | OneFootball

Mostafa Fathi believes that Pyramids (EGY) could have more ball possession than Flamengo

Is Flamengo the favorite to beat Pyramids (EGY) in the World Cup semifinal? For the African team's forward Mostafa Fathi, the chances are the same. The player doesn't see much difference with the four-time Libertadores champion and did not hide his optimism to advance to the final.

— We have the same quality, we can have more ball possession than Flamengo, play their same style. We have great players and a lot of quality and we can face this game. The pressure will be on both teams, as we want to win and move forward. Our coach showed us videos of Flamengo. The whole team is good, not specific players — commented the player.

WHY SO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN PYRAMIDS?

Current African champion, Pyramids is going into their third game in this Intercontinental. In matches played in September, the Egyptians beat Auckland (NZL) and the wealthy Al Ahli (SAU), featuring Mendy, Mahrez, and former Flamengo player Matheus Gonçalves.

In the Egyptian Championship, the team is in second place, but with one game less than the leader. Therefore, confidence is high for Pyramids to reach their first-ever Club World Cup final in the history of the club founded in 2008 and owner of a continental title.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS PYRAMIDS TAKE PLACE?

The Club World Cup semifinal takes place this Saturday (13th), starting at 2 PM (Brasília time), at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, in Doha, Qatar. The winner will go to the final to face PSG (FRA) in the grand decision on Wednesday (December 17th).

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Flamengo vs Pyramids will be broadcast by Globo for all of Brazil on open TV. Additionally, SporTV, on cable, will show the match. Finally, on YouTube, GETV and CazéTV will broadcast the confrontation. However, the best coverage will be from Coluna do Fla, on the website and social media.
