The U17 national coach, Brahima Traoré and his foals had, after the defeat against the lion cubs of Senegal, the objective of bringing back at least one medal to the country of honest men. It’s done ! Admittedly, a defeat against Senegal which hides the work of Brahima and his men, but the objectives are now turned towards the 2023 U17 World Cup according to the young people.
To hear the coach, “Today I am proud of my team because they promised to get this 3th place, because we deserved to play the Final. We didn’t, but we promised the people not to go home empty-handed. Before coming, many did not think of us on this podium. We have had an honorable run. We came in the shoes of an outsider (…), today I think it’s a great reward”, indicated Brahima Traoré before recalling the qualification for the World Cup.
Not least for Ousmane Camara, he who also confirmed the quality of this performance while affirming that the team just lacked a plus. “To begin with, me in particular, I am proud of myself. We played well. We will try to put them (..) in the World Cup. We were the best but we missed something. Football is like that. And we’re proud of ourselves.” added Ousmane Camara, one of the scorers in the game against the eaglets.
Burkina Faso is the bronze medalist in this competition. A participation, which moreover arrived after 12 years. The final of this CAN U17 is played this Friday, May 19, 2023 between Senegal and Morocco. Heading now for the World Cup scheduled for November 2023 for the Stallions.
