The
Scorpions played a 1-1 draw with the Atlas Lions at the Independence Stadium in
Banjul on Saturday, and Mancini, who is satisfied with the results, said
concentration was missing when Morocco equalized.
“The thing missing from the
team was attention when the Moroccan goal was scored,” Mancini said during the
June 2 post match press conference.
“The beautiful thing was
that in the second half, the Gambia played the best football. We have tried all
our best to be very much attentive to the Moroccans and the boys have done
well. Not only the defence but the whole team played well. I thank you all for
the help,” he added.
I am very much satisfied with
Gambia’s response to Morocco, he said, arguing that “We all know that Morocco
is a big team.”
The Italian coach who took
over from Gambian Bonu Johnson after only one match claim he satisfied Gambians
with Saturday’s results.
“I am very happy because
even if we didn’t win we believe we have given great satisfaction to the
Gambian people,” he said. “We all wanted a
victory but the performance of the boys was excellent both technically and
tactically. I believe even though we didn’t win we have shown our quality.”
