Mory Diaw annonce la couleur : « On coupe les réseaux et on se donne à fond pour rendre fier le peuple sénégalais »
Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone during the Lions' training session this Saturday, Mory Diaw emphasized the Senegalese team's determination ahead of their next match. The goalkeeper asserted that the players have learned from the criticism and remain focused on their objective.
Asked about the team's mindset after qualifying, he explained that the group prefers to stay away from social media in order to remain focused on the competition.
“When you enter a competition, whether it’s the AFCON or the World Cup, the main thing is to disconnect from social media a little. We know that when things are going well, we are the best, and when things aren’t going well, we are the worst. Each player knows for himself when he has had a good or a bad match,” he told Dsports.
Despite this distancing, Mory Diaw acknowledges that the players feel the support of the fans. The images of Senegalese supporters celebrating the qualification particularly moved them.
“I saw thousands of Senegalese people walking in the streets singing. These are heartwarming images. We want to give them the same emotions and relive the fervor we experienced after our victory at the AFCON. We will give everything to make the Senegalese people proud,” he promised.
Regarding Édouard Mendy's health, the Senegalese goalkeeper declined to comment, stating that such information was a matter for the Federation and the medical staff. He did, however, send a message of support to his teammate.
"He's someone I get along with very well, like a brother. I wish him a very speedy recovery and I hope he'll be back with us very soon."
Mory Diaw also shared a personal account of his journey, marked by difficult years before reaching the top level: “I struggled a lot in my career. I experienced years without a club and played in the lower divisions. But I never stopped believing in God, believing in myself, and working hard. If I have a message to give to young people, it is to believe in their dreams and never stop working.”
Finally, the Lions' goalkeeper stressed the need to approach the rest of the competition with humility: "We have learned from what happened. Now, the most important thing is to take the games one at a time, 'choky choky', and go as far as possible," he said.
