Cameroon manager Antonio Conceicao has spoken about the difficulty of facing Liverpool 's Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah.
Salah will be looking to help guide his national side to the African Cup of Nations final when he faces the host nation on Thursday night in the semi-final.
The winger has two goals in five games - including a goal and an assist in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Morocco - and will be looking to carry that form into the fixture against Cameroon.
Conceicao understands how hard it will be to stop the 29-year-old over the course of the game and used his pre-match press conference to highlight just how 'important' it is to keep him quiet.
“Mohamed Salah is an important player who can make the difference at any moment, but our biggest challenge is to reach a balance between defence and attack,” Conceicao said.
On the game, Salah himself said that it was important he and his teammates stayed grounded and not start believing they are already in the final before a ball is kicked.
"We must keep our feet on the ground because we cannot think too far ahead yet," Salah said.
"We have to prepare for the big match against Cameroon and not start making dreams about the final before the semi-final."
