His comments came after Mattia Zaccagni’s last-gasp goal in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Croatia that set up a clash against Switzerland in the last-16 of Euro 2024.
“It was definitely a great emotion,” El Shaarawy told reporters before Saturday’s game in Berlin, referring to the crucial goal.
“We have the knowledge that this team never dies.
“It’s great joy.
“It wasn’t an exceptional match [against Croatia] in terms of quality, like it was [in the opening 2-1 win] against Albania, but we deserved to qualify.
“We are a good team that can go all the way.
“We have a big responsibility.
“This team is just not made up of [great] players but also of great men.”
