“It’s going to be a difficult match because each team wants first place. We came here to look for this first place. I was present for the first leg (1-1). We were all in pain when we conceded this goal at the last second, but the subsequent matches are not the same. Both teams want the points to be first. We are going to do everything we can to approach this match well and take the points.
We have two days left and a direct confrontation against Burkina Faso which is ahead of us. We’re used to finishing first in the playoffs and we want to continue that momentum, which is going to happen in this match. So, we will do everything to take the points, which is important for the status of Senegal. All our matches are finals. It’s going to be a more difficult match than against Malawi. Afterwards, there will be another “final” against Burundi. »
