Senegalese coach Aliou Ciss\u00e9<\/strong> heeft de beslissing om zich terug te trekken uit de AFCON-finale<\/strong>, toegelicht en het einde van het toernooi omschreven als een tragedie voor zijn team.<\/p>\n

Ciss\u00e9 zei dat deze stap niet lichtvaardig werd genomen en benadrukte dat de technische staf en spelers onder de omstandigheden geen echte alternatieven hadden. Hij wees erop dat verschillende factoren op het slechtst mogelijke moment samenkwamen, wat het vermogen van het team om door te gaan be\u00efnvloedde.<\/p>\n

In zijn toelichting maakte de Senegalese bondscoach duidelijk dat het welzijn van de spelers de prioriteit was, en voegde daaraan toe dat doorgaan het team aan verder risico zou hebben blootgesteld. Hij onderstreepte ook dat de beslissing werd genomen na een beoordeling van de situatie binnen de selectie en overleg met de verantwoordelijken.<\/p>\n

De coach voegde toe dat het doel van Senegal gedurende het hele toernooi was om te strijden voor de titel, maar dat de finale zich op een zodanige manier ontvouwde dat het onmogelijk werd de wedstrijd af te maken, waardoor wat een trots moment had moeten worden, veranderde in een pijnlijk einde.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
