COSAFA CUP – Mamadou Diallo, Lions coach: “We had trouble in the last minutes because of the long trip”!

Senegal made a good start at the Cosafa Cup, note that it is participating for the first time by invitation. In Durban, Sunday, the Lions dominated Mozambique (5-4) despite a physical condition diminished by the trip.

“It was really tough in the last moments of the game. But I understood that the players were tired. We arrived really late yesterday in addition to a long flight, almost 27 hours of flight. So it’s not very easy, especially since when we arrived at the hotel, we still waited to get access to the rooms” explains Mamadou Diallo who leads the national team.

Nevertheless, Senegal won the match. Satisfaction for the technician. “The most important thing is that we won the game. And the team had two good periods before giving up in the last minutes.

In Durban, Senegal is preparing for the next CAN where it hopes to lift the cup for a seventh time, including the fourth in a row. “This tournament is important for us, the African champion team. It’s been a very long time since we had to play friendly matches. So this tournament will help us a lot to prepare for the CAN”.
