Senegal’s head coach Saliou Dia says his team will go all out when they take on South Africa
Senegal U17, football team is set to take on South Africa in the quarterfinals of the TotalEnergies U17 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers. Head coach Saliou Dia has said that his team will be going all out in the match, which offers both a passage to the semifinals and a ticket to the U17 Fifa World Cup. Senegal have never qualified for the Under-17 World Cup, and Dia is keen to attempt their maiden appearance. He notes that his players are really good at dealing with pressure and will work on their concentration to ensure they give their best.
Senegal qualified for the knockout phase of the competition for the first time in their history, winning all their group stage games convincingly without conceding a single goal. According to Dia, this is a result of their good planning and training before the tournament, and he has urged his players to maintain the same discipline, ambition, and hard work. Qualification to the World Cup is one of their biggest driving forces, says midfielder Fallou Fall, and they will fight to win against South Africa.
Although South Africa qualified as the second of the best third-placed teams, the Senegalese team says they will not take them lightly. This is a big challenge for them, and they want to continue competing and playing until the last day. Winning against South Africa means they have at least two more matches to play, and they want their players to gain as much experience as possible.
In conclusion, Senegal is determined to make their maiden appearance at the U17 Fifa World Cup, and their quarterfinal match against South Africa is a crucial step towards achieving that goal. Coach Dia and his team are confident in their ability and have urged their players to maintain the same discipline, ambition, and hard work that got them this far. The match promises to be a tough one, but the Senegalese team is ready to go all out and give it their best shot.
