Less than 24 hours before the crucial match against Senegal in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Gustavo Ferrín, the coach of the Angolan national team, recognizes the challenges ahead. He emphasizes the team’s awareness of the difficulties and the necessity to fight for a victory. Ferrín acknowledges that a defeat would complicate their situation in the qualifiers.
The Angolan team will face Senegal without four key players due to injuries: Pirolito, Vado, Djalma Campos, and Guilherme Afonso. Despite these setbacks, Ferrín is determined to put up a strong fight.
On the Senegalese side, coach Alain Giresse expresses confidence, having observed the Angola team during the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). He notes that the Senegal team is well-prepared and in good condition for the upcoming match.
