Just hours before the crucial match against Gabon, Togolese footballer Emmanuel Adebayor is singularly focused on one word: qualification. In an interview with Africatopsports, he emphasizes the significance of securing a spot in the competition.
When asked about the motto for the match against Gabon, Adebayor succinctly responds, “Just the qualification. We know what remains for us to do: qualify. We came back for this, and we would begrudge ourselves not to offer the qualification to the Togolese public.” He expresses gratitude for the support of the fans during training and anticipates their energetic presence on match day.
Adebayor, serving as the team captain, emphasizes the players’ motivation and awareness of their mission. He is committed to reinforcing this mission for any player who might still be unsure.
Regarding the question of bonuses and any impact on the team, Adebayor assures that it has not changed anything since Thursday. He emphasizes the team’s focus and clarifies that discussions about bonuses were necessary before the match.
In a final call, Adebayor urges the public to come to the field, highlighting their significance as the twelfth man. He sees their presence as additional motivation and hopes for a strong turnout to support the team in what he describes as one of the important matches in his career.
