Despite acknowledging the formidable qualities of their Algerian opponents, Dayo radiated confidence and dismissed any notion of pressure on his team.
Standing alongside coach Hubert Velud, Dayo conveyed the squad’s resolute mindset, especially after their hard-fought triumph in the previous encounter.
“We have no pressure. The Algerians have very strong attackers, but we are ready,” Dayo affirmed, exuding a sense of preparedness and determination.
His words left little room for interpretation, emphasizing that Burkina Faso’s sole objective is victory.
Having faced Algeria multiple times before, Dayo highlighted the significance of giving their all on the field.
“The most important thing is to give everything tomorrow for victory.
Algeria has great attackers, and it’s up to us to show what we are capable of,” he declared, reinforcing the team’s commitment to leaving everything on the pitch.
Reflecting on the historical context of their encounters with Algeria, Dayo admitted, “Algeria has always eliminated us from the World Cup qualifiers.
We always have it in our throat,” underscoring the lingering desire for redemption.
Burkina Faso, currently leading Group D with three points, is poised to face Algeria, who secured a draw in their opening match.
The highly anticipated clash is scheduled for this Saturday at the Peace Stadium in Bouaké, promising a spectacle of determination and football prowess.
