Pablo Ganetclaims that lack of star in their team has helped them to to their good performance in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Contrary to expectations, Guinea was able to perform well in the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations and reached the quarter-finals last night by defeating Mali on penalties. They had already eliminated the defending champions by defeating Algeria with a 1-0 victory. Now 27-year-old Ganet claims that the absence of the star in this team has contributed to their good performance.
“We are a small country. We don’t have a star - our star is the team.
“If they respect us, ok. If they didn't respect us it is up to them, but we showed our value. We played with our heads.
“I am so happy, I don't know in English how (to say) tears of emotion. I feel really happy, but not about me, but as a team, because we played as a team and it is in our power.”
“In the first half, I have to be honest, I think they played better,”
Ganet continued.
“But step by step we got better and I think in extra time we played even better than them. I don't think they expected that and when they wanted to react it was too late. But Mali is a big team and in the future, they can go far.”
