“It’s true that there is the result of a goal everywhere but we remain a little bitter compared to the content that we proposed. In any case, we felt in the first half that the team had the possibility of doing a lot more but once again we lacked a little efficiency. What this team has been missing for a while now”
“We really need to progress in this sector to be able to validate our strong points, especially in the first period. In terms of game consistency, balance of control we were I think above Libya even if Libya was an interesting opponent”
“In the first period it is not normal that it is Libya which opens the scoring and that we are in the reaction once again. We must first put this first goal in our highlights.
“I think that at the moment we can clearly rely on the game that the team is offering. We feel that there is a game identity, there is a background to the game that emerges. The players are more and more confident even in transmissions, in movements, it is much more coordinated. We really feel a playing identity and from the moment you have the foundations on which you rest, even in difficult times, we manage to find precisely the passing circuits, this balance, which perhaps we do not. had not at a certain time“
“You have to be able to open the score or why not kill the match. We saw in particular against Niger that we missed two penalties. At the international level this is unforgiving. We must be able to seize these opportunities.”
“I clearly think we need to improve the offensive sector. We have quality players. We have different profiles. We have this ability to bring danger from almost everywhere. Compared to the qualities we exude, we don’t score enough. This is something that is blatant, everyone can see it. Between Sudan, Senegal and the two matches we have just played, we must be able to score at least 5 or 6 goals which means that today we had draws, we did not win matches » hammered the hawks manager Serge Akakpo.
