Mayacine Mar, the national technical director (Dtn) of football, shares his perspective on the draw for the last phase of the qualifiers, which pits Senegal against Ivory Coast. He asserts that “Senegal should not be afraid of Ivory Coast,” emphasizing that the draw is not favorable for any team, and all teams have work to do. Mar expresses confidence in Senegal’s progress, stating, “We have a team that is progressing very well.”
Clarifying their approach, Mar states, “We will try to put all the assets on our side. It’s up to the kids to demonstrate their know-how. There are no more calculations.” He emphasizes the need for concentration and giving their all, leaving the outcome in the hands of the players, who, according to Mar, know what they have to do.
Reflecting on the previous encounter a year ago in which Senegal lost to Ivory Coast, Mar sees the upcoming matches as an opportunity to rectify the past result. The determination to learn from the previous experience and showcase improvement underscores the team’s commitment as they prepare for the crucial qualifiers.
