“We need to maximize our chances of success. Although we’re trailing by one goal, we’re not out of contention. We must maintain belief in our abilities and strive to field a competitive team on Sunday. That’s why I’ve enlisted Jimmy Cundasamy, who’s currently in excellent form. His experience will be invaluable to the squad. The same applies to Kevin Bru,” emphasized Patel.
Furthermore, Patel stressed the importance of not underestimating their opponents, acknowledging Mauritania’s strengths, particularly their expatriate players, some of whom ply their trade in France. Patel concluded by emphasizing the necessity of victory to keep their tournament hopes alive.
