The coach emphasized that this match represents an important change for ASCVD: “This is a qualifying game, and we really need to win to be in the quarter-finals. » With a galvanized audience and a advantage in size, the team was able to dominate the important moments. However, coach Tapha Gaye did not fail to recognize the shortcomings: “There is a lot of improvement, especially in terms of anger and aggression. »
Facing a stronger opponent than in previous matches, ASCVD relied on a compact defense and a fast game. “This strategy is paying off, although we have experienced some difficult times. Our players must continue to raise their level to compete with the best teams, such as Al Ahly,” he added.
For Moustapha Gaye, this competition represents an opportunity for learning and development. “The level of this tournament is very high, but we have a good base to build on. Every day is an opportunity to improve. »
With ambitions and a collective going forward, ASCVD is preparing to face major rivals, especially Al Ahly who will meet next Tuesday in the third and final day for group matches.
