Ahead of their FIFA World Cup round of 16 clash against Lionel Messi's Argentina on Tuesday, Egypt assistant coach Ibrahim Hassan said they are focussed on what they have to do and not on the opposition.

"We aren't focusing on Messi. They might have Messi, but we have Mohamed Salah, and we have 26 Messis of our own," Hassan said.
