New exploit of the Petit Poucet of the tournament and his Belgian trainer who emerge as one of the outsiders to the final victory.
Who will stop Gambia’s incredible selection? Not his first opponents in qualifying for the Can (Gabon, DR Congo and Angola). Nor those of the first round of the competition (Mali, Tunisia and Mauritania). Nor the beautiful team of Guinea that had to be tamed in the round of 16.
With his Belgians Sulayman Marreh (Ghent), Mohamed Badamosi (Courtrai) and especially his Belgian coach Tom Saintfiet, the Scorpions have achieved a new miracle. “It’s fantastic”, rejoices the Belgian coach. “I’m lucky to have a real team, not individuals. These players move forward together with the same dream and a strategy. Everyone is very disciplined and does everything to succeed.”
