African Teams Must Be Determined In Qatar – Koulibaly

Senegal defender, Kalidou Koulibaly has come out to say that the time has arrived for an African nation to win the World Cup trophy. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Senegal still remembers the 2018 World Cup because the players could have done better and were very sad to have been sent home early.

Koulibaly added that African teams must set goals for themselves to win the World Cup because we are a very determined continent.

His words, “We still remember the 2018 World Cup because we could have done better, we failed to qualify from the group stage and I was very sad about going home that early,”

“It is going to be even more difficult for us now we are the African champions because all the teams will be careful [when playing against us] and for me I think it is time an African country delivers and wins the World Cup because we are a very determined continent.”

“We should set our goals for ourselves, like in the Afcon in Cameroon when we qualified to the Round of 16, all the guys in the dressing room were like, oh great, and I was like guys we are not happy, our competition is just starting here, now if we lose one game we go back home, so we must always have our goals.”

“People in the streets of Senegal will tell us laughing, I hope you guys will win the World Cup, I do laugh back with them but in my head I really hope we will do it.”
