Krépin Diatta is back in the selection. The player was suspended by CAF for 04 matches, 02 of which were suspended. This sanction follows its reaction after the elimination of Senegal in the 8th finals of the CAN, against Ivory Coast.
Speaking to the press on Monday, the AS Monaco player said he was happy to return to the selection.
“Personally, it was really hard. I like wearing this jersey. Everyone knows how important this jersey is to me. But it’s not going to repeat itself, that would be stupid on my part, because it was really a difficult moment for me. I couldn’t imagine it. But you have to know how to grow. We are all humans and we make mistakes. You have to own up when you make a mistake and not repeat it. I think I’m going to get hit if this happens again. In any case, it’s a real pleasure for me to come back. I really missed the Lair”he declared.
In the confrontation against the Stallions of Burkina on Malian soil, the Lion is calm and wants to concentrate on the match. “It’s going to be an important match but we’re going to focus on Burkina Faso. With Mali, we are a brother country, I don’t think there is any problem on that, we will see if the Malians will be with Burkina Faso or not. We focus on ourselves. It will be Senegal against Burkina Faso on the field, not Mali against Senegal. Although Burkina certainly has Malian supporters, the most important thing is to focus on ourselves. I think we have already shown that we have our say in this Continent, we do not have to fear the public. »
Senegal is already qualified, as is Burkina Faso, which it faces on Thursday November 14 for supremacy of the group.
