Ahead of the upcoming match against PSG, ASSE’s Bayal Sall has shared his approach to facing star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic with modesty and focus. The Senegalese defender emphasizes the importance of treating every opponent with equal respect and concentration, regardless of their reputation.
“I don’t have any special tactics when facing Zlatan or any other striker, big or small club. I don’t engage in pre-match provocations. Instead, I focus solely on my role in the game and the specific attacker I need to mark. It’s unnecessary to fixate on a particular player or name. I acknowledge his abilities; he’s undoubtedly an excellent player and a role model for many attackers. However, that doesn’t deter me from doing my job. I approach every match with seriousness and composure. I respect all opponents, but I don’t fear anyone. That’s my approach,” Sall stated during an interview with But!.
