AFCON 2015 – GUINEA UNCHANGED FOR DECISIVE CLASH AGAINST UGANDA
“You don’t change a winning team.” That’s the mantra Guinea coach Michel Dussuyer is following ahead of his team’s decisive final qualifier for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. After their impressive victory over Togo in Lomé, the Syli National will face Uganda this Wednesday in Morocco, needing nothing less than a win to secure their ticket to Equatorial Guinea.
Staying true to the lineup that delivered three crucial points in their last outing, Dussuyer has retained the same starting eleven to face the Cranes.
“We must keep the same intensity and mindset,” said Dussuyer ahead of the match. “We know what’s at stake — and we’re ready.”
