Hassan Shehata's team claimed their third successive CAN title, seventh overall, upon beating Ghana 1-0 in the final on Sunday.

Zidan, who has just turned 29, says there are no 'big stars' in Egypt but together all players form an imposing side.

"I think the most important thing is that we don't really have any big stars in our team," he told FIFA's official website.

"By that, I don't mean we don't have good players, but in our team, we see each other as equal.

"Everyone is there to work for the team. We have one objective and that is to make Egypt the best. We try and develop ourselves every match and improve."

Borussia Dortmund star Zidan also heaped praise on Egypt skipper Ahmed Hassan, who was named CAN's best player.

"He has been brilliant in this competition. He leads by example," he added.

"But as I said, we don't really single out players in our camp, everything we do, we do it as a team.

"We fight for each other, we play for each other. But yes, Ahmed is a special player who has a lot of experience."
