Giresse Pleased as Senegal Hammer Guinea 5–2 in Friendly Ahead of AFCON 2015
Senegal delivered a powerful message ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, thrashing Guinea 5–2 in a friendly played on Tuesday. The Lions of Teranga, under the guidance of Alain Giresse, showcased both attacking flair and collective discipline just days before the tournament’s kickoff in Equatorial Guinea.
Giresse, speaking to APS by phone, expressed satisfaction not only with the scoreline but also with the attitude and cohesion of his squad:
“We are in the same dynamic. We saw players who wanted it and who took their responsibilities, once on the field.”
He further emphasized:
“The most important thing is not the result of the match, but its content. We saw players focused throughout the match.”
Giresse praised the collective effort, highlighting how the team’s unity elevated individual performances:
“In addition to their individual qualities, the players worked together to achieve the result.”
Senegal is drawn into a tough Group C, dubbed the Group of Death, alongside Algeria, Ghana, and South Africa. Their dominant showing against Guinea will boost confidence as they prepare for their tournament opener.
