Senegal young sensation, Lamine Camara has credited his senior teammates for his standout TotalEnergies Man of the Match performance in the team’s TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Cote d’Ivoire 2023 opening match against The Gambia. 

Camara’s brace and his overall performance earned him the individual accolade which he says will motivate him to work even harder and it must also be credited to his teammates.

“I am happy with this recognition. This is the result of the hard work that we all did. Winning the first match remains a good thing” said the Metz FC player who recently joined the French club.

The 20-year-old star continued to say: “I am pleased after scoring a brace in the match, and I must remain focused now on the rest of the matches. I am pleased to participate in such a tournament with the first team and to be in the company of senior players such as Sadio Mane and others. These players are the ones who helped me stand out today”, concluded Camara. 

Up next for Senegal is a clash against Cameroon in what promises to be an exciting clash between the two African football giants.
