Senegal’s World Cup journey ended in the Round of 32, but there’s no time for final disappointment for the coaching staff and players, who remain constructive despite the defeat.
Pape Ibrahima Faye, after the Young Lions’ loss to Uganda: “I put this defeat into the context of football. Football is football: you can be good and win; you can be bad and lose or win. But today, the problem was technical. Our lads missed a lot of technical plays, whether it was passing or shooting. Then, when we were behind, instead of keeping their composure and continuing to play, they unfortunately rushed things. But it’s still football. The work continues. These are young players, U17s, we’re still developing, so it continues. [There are bound to be regrets] Yes. Nobody likes to lose, even in a training session.” But the regrets are the chances we didn’t put in the back of the Ugandan net. Still, it was a good performance. The lads played. That was the objective.
