Now we have to keep our feet on the ground and continue to work.”
The highlight of the press conference was Seck’s elation at being named the man of the match. “I’m very happy to have scored, and it’s my first match in AFCON.

Seck’s journey in the AFCON tournament took a positive turn, especially considering his limited participation in the previous edition.

The defender’s stellar performance resonated not only with fans but also garnered acclaim from teammates present in the conference room, further underlining the camaraderie within the squad.
