Idrissa Gana Gueye, the midfield maestro of the Senegal national team, affirmed the readiness of his squad for the upcoming clash against Cameroon in the second round of Group Three matches in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations “Total Energies.”
Addressing the press conference dedicated to the pivotal encounter, Gueye stated, “We will enter the match just as we did in the first game, by following the coach’s instructions and giving 200% of our energy.
The coaching staff has thoroughly analyzed the Cameroonian team, and I believe they hold the keys to securing victory.”
“If Cameroon wants to go to war, we are ready for it,” he added assertively.
Meanwhile, Aliou Cissé, the coach of the Teranga Lions, remarked, “Senegal’s matches against Cameroon have always been intense and characterized by fierce competition. However, this will not be a revenge match.
The Cameroonian national team doesn’t need introduction; they have a great history. Still, Senegal has evolved significantly in recent years.”
He continued, “We faced Cameroon in a friendly match a few months ago and emerged victorious. But the upcoming game will be entirely different.
Senegal now boasts a blend of youth and experience, and I have plans; we definitely don’t fear facing Cameroon.”
Posing a rhetorical question, Cissé asked, “How can some Senegalese newspapers describe our attack as sterile against Gambia? We scored three goals.”
The anticipation for the Senegal-Cameroon clash is escalating, with both teams gearing up for a showdown that promises to be a spectacle of skill and determination on the African football stage.
