The coach of the local Senegal team, Souleymane Diallo, displays his serenity ahead of the double confrontation against Liberia, counting for the last round of qualifications for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
“Overall, the preparation went very well. We received the three players from Jaraaf, and the team’s spirit is excellent,” he confided. After three months of preparation, the Senegalese technician unveiled a list of 21 carefully selected players, from the best elements since the start of the season. Senegal will face Lone Star this Sunday, December 22 in Monrovia for the first leg. Aware of the importance of this match, Diallo prepared carefully. “ We have a little idea of the opponent. Apart from the trip I made to Liberia to follow their match, we are currently working on the videos. We analyzed their defensive animation and, on Friday, we will focus on their offensive animation “, he clarified. Liberia, who beat Sierra Leone in the previous round, represent a serious challenge. However, the Senegalese technician and his team approach this meeting with confidence.
The local Lions will travel to Monrovia this Thursday, giving the coach two days to fine-tune the final adjustments and strengthen the cohesion of the group. “We will focus on our strengths and why not exploit the opponent’s weaknesses,” he added, convinced of the quality and potential of his players. The return match, scheduled for the coming weeks, will be played on Senegalese soil.
