Tuesday, November 7, the coach of Syli national (the Guinean national football team), Kaba Diawara unveiled the list of 23 players called up for the first two days of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Unsurprisingly, neither Mady Camara, nor Morlaye Sylla appear on this list, despite being fit and starting at their respective clubs. In their place, it was Naby Keita, barely back from injury, who was called up. A decision criticized by supporters.
Wednesday, November 8, Kaba Diawara hosted a stress fist. The opportunity for him to justify his choices for the next two National Finish matches. The technician speaks of a “logic of group and choice”. It is an open secret. Kaba and Mady have not conjugated the same verb for several years. The Olympiakos midfielder has not been selected since 2021. Recently, on a TV set, it was revealed that Kaba has sworn not to call Mady again as long as he is at the head of the National Finish. He would accuse the player of creating disorder in the locker room and of not wetting the jersey enough.
Revelations that the player has not digested. He leaves a long message on Instagram and accuses the coach of having opted for France “by default”. Despite Mady’s bitter words, on November 8, Kaba declared: “There is no problem between these players and me. It’s one more choice. As I often say, I had to make choices of players and test new ones who came and who were satisfactory. This is an opportunity to revisit that. Otherwise, there’s no problem, there’s no mystery, it’s just a choice.” A fist is sweet.
Kaba Diawara vowed to have no problems with any player and that the door to the National Finish was not completely closed. “I follow a logic of group and choice. I’ve been here for two years. Each time, I try to start with the same players so that there is cohesion and they know each other better and better. For the CAN, we’ll see later. For the moment, I believe that it is these 23 who can bring us the 6 points. Mady and I have no problem. It was me who brought him to the selection and he has my phone number. If he wants to talk to me, he can do it directly without any worries.”
The African Cup of Nations will take place in two months in Ivory Coast. It remains to be seen whether Mady Camara and Morlaye Sylla will have the chance to find the national football team.
