Bubacarr Sanneh, without a club since Anderlecht broke his contract, speaks for the first time about his departure from the club.
Connection drops. A classic when you try to reach a player from his hotel during the African Cup of Nations. To hear a player explain that he had a heavenly stay during his participation in the biggest African tournament is close to utopia.
In the case of Bubacarr Sanneh (27) and the Gambian selection, we are even in the opposite extreme. The Scorpions base camp is located in southern Cameroon. A region that is experiencing a period of chaos. Last week, shots were heard near the training ground occupied by the selection.
“Since then, even going for a walk is prohibited”, he launches from his hotel room in which he tries to kill time. “Each time we move, we are escorted by half an army of soldiers. We can only move to go and train and play our matches. It’s a shame. Our coach is doing his best to make our lives comfortable. but even the food is not very good… That’s how it is.”
