Senegal will enter this Friday for the African Cup of Nations under 20. Before this meeting, the coach of the lion cubs, wanted to warn his team, before facing the Central African Republic.
Senegal, reigning champion, will put his crown into play in this new edition of the African U20 African Cup. This Thursday, Serigne Saliou Dia was at a press conference with his captain Serigne Fallou Diouf. The coach analyzed the Senegal group, which he deems very high.
“It is a very raised, very difficult hen. These are teams that we know well. The Congo, against whom we played two friendly games less than a month and a half ago. Ghana, which we faced in the semi-finals of African games last year. All teams are equal. The Central African Republic is the only one we know less, but it is a country that progresses. Talent alone is not enough in such a demanding tournament. I ask the Senegalese people to pray for us because their support is crucial ”said Serigne Saliou Dia.
Serigne Fallou Diouf, the captain of the national team, put forward the group’s determination. “We are competitors, and each competitor wants to win the competition in which he participates. To do this, it must be demonstrated in the field. We also ask the Senegalese people to support us by prayer. Our objectives are clear: first to win the qualification for the world Cup, then aim for the world title. »»
He concludes on a note of lucidity: “We know two of the three teams, except the Central African Republic. But in Africa, there are no more small teams. This group is noted, but we will do everything to get out of it victorious. »»
The meeting between Senegal and the Central African Republic will start from 3 p.m. at the New Suez Stadium.
