Arouna Sangante chooses Senegal and definitively closes the door to Guinea-Bissau. Summoned for the first time by Aliou Cissé, in March 2024 to face Benin and Gabon in a friendly, he had to withdraw and was therefore unable to experience his first cape with the Lions. The native of Mbao has not changed his position and is determined to represent Senegal.
“My choice is Senegal. I was called but ultimately I was withdrawn. It’s not because it didn’t happen that I would change my position. The most important thing is my desire and it is Senegal,” he confided in an interview with the Sport News Africa site, operated by Senego.
Sanganté reveals having had a discussion with the new Lions coach, Pape Thiaw. He came (to Le Havre) with his staff. He stayed for half a day. He attended training. We had time to talk and it was an opportunity for me to also congratulate him on qualifying for CAN 2025,” he said.
The Le Havre AC defender spoke of the competition in the den. “Competition is not a problem, it’s what allows you to raise your level, see where your gaps are. It’s something that I like because by staying in your comfort zone, you stagnate. We need this competition,” he suggested.
