The words of coach Brama Traoré
At the end of last night’s training session, Brama Traoré spoke about the state of mind of the group as well as the absences of certain players:
“I feel very good as does the group currently in Bamako. There is no danger in the house. We know that in football there are a lot of things that can happen. And to prepare for a match, there are certain hazards to take into account. »
The realistic Stallions coach knows he must deal with unforeseen events, including injuries to key players. However, he seems determined to maintain a strong team spirit to compensate for these absences.
“For us, they are injured players. They will be replaced. What is important is to approach the matches well[…] What was going to scare me is if I was asked to start the match at 9 against 11 or at 10 against 11. But we are going to start the match at eleven against eleven. I know that every player coming to the national team has incredible intention. I’m sure there will be a good match because we want to stay first.”
Brama Traoré displays unwavering confidence in the ability of the replacements to seize their chance and make their contribution to the Burkinabè collective. This unfailing support for his team should strengthen the motivation of the players to take on this challenge.
