The Lions’ defender held a press conference on the eve of the match against Kenya.
Abdoulaye Seck: “We had two matches during this international break and we lost the first one. Now, we’re preparing well to win this match against Kenya. [Despite the defeat against Brazil] The atmosphere in the locker room hasn’t changed. It’s true that it’s not pleasant to lose, but we played against a great team. On paper, it was a friendly match, but that wasn’t really the case on the pitch. Our objective was to win this match against Brazil, but we’re going to keep working. We have a group of competitors. The match against Brazil is behind us, so now we have to bounce back with this match against Kenya.”
The start of the match against Brazil was difficult, but that’s in the past. We all know what happened before that match, but it’s just details. We learned a lot from that match. There wasn’t any negative nervousness. It was an intense match, and I think most of our nervous reactions were due to the refereeing. If you followed the match closely, the balance wasn’t so even with the referee. We’re approaching an Africa Cup of Nations, so we need to learn from these kinds of matches, whether it’s against Brazil or Kenya. Against Kenya, in particular, our objective will be to win that match, no matter who it is.
