Mondial : « Le peuple ne mérite pas ça », lâche Krépin Diatta, écœuré après l'élimination face à la Belgique
Immense disappointment was etched on Krépin Diatta's face after Senegal's heartbreaking elimination against Belgium (3-2 after extra time) in the round of 32 of the World Cup. In the mixed zone, the Lions of Teranga winger offered no excuses and took full responsibility for this disastrous outcome.
For the Senegalese international, the lack of character and discipline in crucial moments proved extremely costly for his team, especially when a ticket to the next round was within their grasp. "It's a question of mindset. When you're leading 2-0, you have to be the leader in defense. It's a shame, considering what we offered and everything we gave. I'm devastated, that's what I'm saying from the heart."
Deeply affected by the turn of events in Seattle, Krépin Diatta also had a strong thought for the Senegalese supporters, believing that this elimination at the end of the match remains a huge waste.
“We failed in our mission. I put myself in the place of all Senegalese people. The people do not deserve this. We could have written a beautiful page in history. We should not have lost this match,” he insisted with great candor.
Pointing to the team's recurring shortcomings in major matches against European teams, the AS Monaco player called on the entire group to urgently learn from this disappointment, refusing to hide behind false pretenses.
"It's always the same thing that comes up. We have to stop making excuses. We have to play with heart. Qualification was within our reach," he concluded, dejected.
