Senegal is gearing up for a critical match against Ivory Coast at the Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco, as their last chance to qualify for the World Cup. The match is crucial, especially after the last-minute goal conceded in the play-off first leg against Ivory Coast, which could significantly impact the outcome.
Alfred Ndiaye, the Senegalese midfielder, expressed his strong determination to showcase his qualities against top players like Drogba. He emphasized the team’s collective desire to prove that they have the skills to match the Ivorian players, stating, “We know that Ivory Coast has great players, among the best in the world. But we shouldn’t be afraid of them. We must give the best of ourselves to prove that we too have qualities equal to them.”
Ndiaye, ultra-motivated, is ready to give his all for the team and the Senegalese people. He acknowledged the importance of the match and the opportunity to make the nation proud, especially after the defeat in Abidjan. Ndiaye believes that putting early pressure on Ivory Coast is key to shaking them up and creating opportunities. He stated, “From the start of the match, we have to put pressure on them. It’s the only way to shake them up. If we manage to score very early, they will have pressure.” The midfielder is committed to doing everything possible to secure a victory and qualification for Senegal.
