Guinea coach Paulo Duarte praised goalkeeper Mohamed Richard Camara after the 2-1 win over Eritrea, despite an early error. Duarte said Camara recovered and made decisive saves, while urging the goalkeeper to continue improving, according to Guinee7.
After Guinea’s 2-1 victory over Eritrea on 12 November, Paulo Duarte praised Mohamed Richard Camara’s response as goalkeeper of the Syli national team. The Portuguese coach acknowledged the goalkeeper’s error at the start of the match, but above all noted his decisive interventions and ability to recover, according to Guinee7.
Paulo Duarte said the performance had strengthened Mohamed Richard Camara’s position, with the goalkeeper playing for Mechal SC in Ethiopia. The coach also said the goalkeeper still needed to work on reducing his errors and benefit from advice in order to improve, according to Guinee7.
The change in assessment comes after criticism from Paulo Duarte in early October. After the 1-0 win over Kenya on 1 October, the coach had acknowledged Richard Camara’s qualities while questioning his commitment and ability to deserve a starting place, Guinee7 reported.
The Guinea coach has now said that Richard Camara’s earlier presence in the squad might have helped avoid some defeats. The statement comes after Guinea’s victory over Eritrea, announced on 12 November.
