Alain Giresse, the coach of the Senegal national football team, acknowledged the immense challenge his team faced in their quest for World Cup qualification, especially with the upcoming match against the Ivory Coast. With the game set to take place at the Mohamed V stadium in Casablanca, Morocco, due to the suspension of the Léopold Sédar Senghor stadium in Dakar, Senegal would be deprived of their home crowd.
Despite the hurdles, Giresse emphasized the need to stay calm and not escalate tension. He focused on the primary goal of scoring goals, highlighting the specific objectives in terms of scoring that the team aimed to achieve. Giresse urged his players not to preemptively stress about the match’s outcome and assured that they would put in the necessary effort to meet their objectives.
