Egypt coach to select new squad for closed camp

Pharaohs squad to attend closed camp and play two friendlies against unconfirmed opponents between 28 November and 5 December.Egypt coach Bob Bradley will on Wednesday announce the players to attend a national team closed camp between 28 November and 5 December.The Pharaohs are due to play two friendlies during this period but the opponents are yet to be confirmed. African teams are the most likely opponents.“New players will join the camp to check their ability,” the 53-year old tactician said during a press conference at EFA headquarters on Sunday.Bradley, the former United States manager, hailed the Brazil friendly as a good experience despite the under par performance and international reports describing the 2-0 defeat as a “failure.”“The Brazil match in Qatar allowed me to make a vision for the future as my target is to qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals,” he added.Bradley, who succeeds the country’s most successful coach Hassan Shehata, spent two month monitoring domestic competitions to select his squad.  A star-less Brazil won comfortably thanks to Valencia striker Jonas’s two goals after 39 and 59 minutes. A second friendly between the two teams is scheduled for February.
