Burkina Faso suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Mali in the Round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations. After the match, Etalons coach Hubert Velud acknowledged that poor tactical choices contributed to the disappointing result for Burkina Faso, who appeared to be lacking resources on the field. « The facts are clear that we made mistakes in our tactical approach. If we didn’t have all of our players available, perhaps we would have acted differently (…). It’s a major disappointment, even for us. We also conceded too many goals in this tournament to hope for a deep run, » he said honestly.
However, Velud did not provide extensive insight into his future when questioned about it. « There have been good and bad things. We will discuss it later. I also have to pay tribute to this group, which has shown solidarity for a month, » he replied.
