Veszprem’s Egyptian player, Yehya El-Deraa, believes that the players' lack of concentration was the main reason for Egypt's defeat against Denmark on Monday.
The Egyptian team suffered a loss to the World champions, Denmark, with a score of 30-27 in their second Group stage game.
The Pharaohs had a poor start to the game, allowing the Danish team to secure a comfortable lead of 19-9 by halftime.
However, in the second half, the Egyptian side managed to regain composure and narrow the gap to just three goals.
"We lost concentration in the first half," Yehya El-Deraa told BeIN Sports after the game.
"We made a lot of mistakes during the first half, and against a tough opponent like Denmark, mistakes are very costly. The situation improved in the second half, and the players showed their quality."
After defeating Hungary 35-32 in the Group opener on Saturday, Egypt currently lie third with two points.
They are set to face hosts France in a tough clash on Wednesday, before taking on Norway and Argentina on Friday and Sunday, respectively.
The top four teams in each group will advance to the quarter-finals.
