In an interview with Prime Vidéo after the 17th matchday, goalkeeper Mory Diaw expressed his thoughts on the team’s struggle to avoid relegation in the second half of the season. « At the beginning of the season, we knew it would be challenging compared to others who are not in the same situation. We are aware that it will be difficult for us. We are ready to face this kind of period. Now, it’s up to us to put all the ingredients on our side, with experienced players and young talents, and create a good atmosphere. Take it game by game and secure 3 points, » declared the Senegalese international.
