Aliou Cissé, the coach of Senegal, spoke about the case of Marseille striker Iliman Ndiaye.
Iliman Ndiaye is one of OM’s main disappointments at the start of the season. In six matches played, the Senegalese striker has still not found the way to the opposing nets. Faced with this bad patch, many are beginning to wonder if they are not the umpteenth flop in this attacking position.
Cisse encourages Ndiaye
Ndiaye is in the hard, but in his country we do not worry too much about him. National coach Aliou Cissé is even certain of his next rebound. “I have no worries for Iliman Ndiaye. Everyone knows the Marseille mentality and the Vélodrome. Playing at OM is not just about having footballing qualities. It’s beyond that criteria.”did he declare.
Cissé, who played at PSG when he was a player, thinks his compatriot will become successful once he has established himself in the Marseille team. : “You also need a minimum of adaptation time to be given to these players. I’m not worried about Iliman. He has the qualities to evolve in Marseille. He evolved for years in England where it is not the same philosophy. »
The Teranga Lions have three of their players in the Olympian squad since in addition to Ndiaye, there are also Pape Gueye and Ismaila Sarr. Aliou Cissé is confident that they will have a good season at the Vélodrome. “Whether it’s Iliman, Ismaila Sarr or Pape Gueye, who is suspended and who, I hope, will find his place in Marseille and in the selection, to evolve in Marseille, it’s all about the state of mind. If it’s about intrinsic qualities, I’m sure our boys in Marseille will have their say. It’s up to them to hang on.”.
