Mohamed Magassouba
Mali coach Mohamed Magassouba unveiled on Thursday August 26 the list of Eagles selected for the Mali-Rwanda and Uganda-Mali matches counting for the 1st and 2nd days of qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Thus, 28 players were summoned. And the big absentees are, as lately, Moussa Marega (Al-Hilal FC / Saudi Arabia) and Yves Bissouma (Brighton / United Kingdom).
If the first continues to shun the selection for personal reasons, the absence of the second does not surprise observers after his media release last weekend to literally settle accounts with the Malian Football Federation (FEMAFOOT) and the national coach. of the Eagles of Mali. He criticizes them, among other things, for not even having heard from him during his operation in 2019.
However, the player had declared at the end of the long interview granted to RP-Media (broadcast 4-4-2) that he is ready to join the National Team for the qualifying matches of the Qatar World Cup. 2022 against Rwanda on September 3, 2021 in Agadir (Morocco) and Uganda on September 6, 2021.
“ We renewed the team spirit; a new impetus has been instilled; a new dynamic has been instilled; we instilled a new state of mind… In this team, the individual does not exist for the benefit of the group. That’s why I always feel embarrassed when I talk about just one in such a brave and talented group that we have today. The links that I have forged with these young people go beyond football because I consider them as my own sons … ”, replied Mohamed Magassouba, interviewed by Malian national television (ORTM).
If this media release earned him the sympathy of many fans who defended him on social networks, many observers reacted by declaring above all that Yves Bissouma was no longer in a positive state of mind to join the workforce. of the Eagles of Mali.
In their opinion, he could be ” a poison that could deteriorate the atmosphere ” within the group.
