El Hadji Oumar Fall, the 21-year-old Senegalese striker, sheds light on his footballing journey, motivations behind joining Tunisia’s US Monastir, and his ambitious objectives for the current and upcoming seasons.
Fall commenced his football journey in the neighborhood, emerging from the Avenir football school in Diamaguene under the guidance of coach Malick Kane.
He progressed through various teams, including Wallidaan and Mbour Stadium, before joining Teungueth FC in 2019.
His experiences in Senegal laid the groundwork for his recent transfer to US Monastir.
Regarding his move to Tunisia, Fall explained that discussions with Teungueth FC about a potential departure had been ongoing, with multiple offers from clubs in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
However, the decision to stay a few more months with Teungueth was not financially motivated but rather resulted from unresolved agreement issues.
Elaborating on his choice to join US Monastir, Fall emphasized the club’s stature as a significant force in African football, providing a platform that aligns with his ambitions.
He sees Monastir as an opportunity for visibility and a stepping stone towards playing for globally renowned clubs.
When asked about the differences between the Senegalese and Tunisian championships, Fall acknowledged the higher level of competition in Tunisia, citing better conditions, facilities, salaries, and player quality. He emphasized the challenging environment in Senegal, where various factors beyond football can influence the game.
Fall’s integration into US Monastir has been smooth, aided by the presence of compatriot Tapha Samb.
Despite acknowledging tough competition, Fall is determined to prove his worth, stating, “I did not come here as a tourist, but with clear ambitions that I will strive to achieve.”
For his first season with Monastir, Fall’s primary objectives are to make a positive impact, excel in matches, and contribute goals as an attacker.
He views the opportunity as a stepping stone to playing in Europe, setting ambitious goals for himself while remaining focused on making a significant mark in Tunisia and Africa.
Fall’s departure from Teungueth FC, along with Mbaye Jacques Ndiaye, is not expected to destabilize the team, according to the striker.
He believes in the collective strength of Teungueth and trusts that new recruits will reinforce the team’s capabilities.
In summary, El Hadji Oumar Fall aims to leave an indelible mark in his first season with US Monastir, with an eye on future opportunities in top-tier football both in Tunisia and internationally.
His commitment to hard work and dedication underlines his determination to succeed in this new chapter of his footballing career.
