That's the man that he is."I can only speak from me knowing Mo and how he is with us and how he acted on that.



He was positive as well."He was the exact same Mo, he had a big smile on his face and everybody was exactly the same with him. I guess it's just part of wanting to be a winner and I don't think he will be the last."The late goal saw Egypt make a winning start at the Africa Cup of Nations (Image: Getty)Jones added: "I get that there are certain ways you can go about things, but if a lad's fine to just be on the bench and he doesn't want to play and help the team, I think that's more of an issue."When there's been any sort of anger from us, including myself, it's always been from a good place.
