AFCON 2027: Vieira warns Senegal despite 4-1 first-leg win
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Seneweb and Africa Top Sports
Senegal face Sudan on Monday in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, after a 4-1 first-leg win in Dakar. Coach Patrick Vieira warned his players and rejected any excuses over difficult conditions, according to Seneweb.
The return match will be played on Monday at 13:00 GMT, as part of the fourth round of the qualifiers. Vieira expects a difficult match, in conditions different from those in Dakar: intense heat and a difficult pitch, in his own words. He stressed that several players have already played in such conditions and that no excuses are acceptable.
The coach is counting on the experience and determination of Kalidou Koulibaly, as well as the aggression and desire shown in the first leg. He said: “We have positive confidence. It will be important to confirm the performance of the first match.”
