Having been sidelined for some time, Senegalese striker M’baye Niang has spoken of a possible return to the Lions of Teranga. Since November 13, 2019, the date of the victory against Congo (2-0) in the CAN 2021 qualifiers, M’baye Niang has not been called up to the national team.
Recently arrived at Wydad Casablanca, a prestigious Moroccan club, and as he prepares to celebrate his 30th birthday on December 19, the striker hopes to stand out and pave the way for a possible return with the 2021 African champions.
” I will remain available for the coach as before » « II have to perform. I know that the coach (Rulani Mokwena at Wydad, editor’s note) is counting on me, as he often stressed in press conferences. I will work hard and help my teammates as well as the club. Then, for the selection, I will be at the disposal of the coach (Aliou Cissé, editor’s note) as I was before. I had the opportunity to play in the World Cup and the African Cup. Even if I am not part of the national team today, I am proud to be Senegalese “, declared the new Wydad striker during the Talents d’Afrique show on Canal+ Sport Afrique.
Regarding Wydad Casablanca, M’baye Niang wants to commit to the club for the long term. An ambitious goal, given that he has not often managed to string together three consecutive seasons since his professional debut at Stade Malherbe de Caen in 2011. I didn’t come for just one season. I really want to be part of the club’s ambitious project. The new management is ready to invest and restore Wydad to its place among the legendary clubs in Africa, with a rich past and an exceptional audience. “, he said. All that remains is to translate his intentions into action.
