Bouaké: At the end of the Algeria-Burkina Faso match where the two teams separated with a draw (2-2), some Stallions spoke to the press including the AIB on place at the Bouaké peace stadium. Yacouba Nasser Djiga: 'I came into a difficult match and I did what I could do' We are a little disappointed with this draw because we wanted more. When you have ambitions it's always like that. Unfortunately it's football. We will continue to work. I came into a tough match and did what I could do. Issoufou Dayo: 'We're not going to stop there' It was a difficult match. We gave everything for our audience who were there to support us. It is not finished. We have one game left. We're not going to stop there. We are going to compete against Angola to win the qualifier for the Burkinabè people and seek first place. In the head we are not yet qualified. We have one match left where we must give everything to please our people and seek first place. Each match has its realities. There are times when we play with two, ther e are times when we play with three in the middle. Everything seems good to us. It's up to us to give everything for the people, for our teammates. We are on a good path. We will rest so that we can start the match against Angola well. Each match has its realities. There are times when we play two or three in central defense. Bertrand Isidore Traoré: 'I try to contribute to the team as much as I can' It was a very difficult match for us, a solid match. It's a bit of a shame that we conceded this goal from a set piece at the very end of the match. This is the bitter point of this match. We have our destiny in our hands. We are going to confirm our qualification and try to seek this first place during the last match. We're going to rest. Angola will play soon (the comments were collected on January 20 after Burkina's 2nd match : editor's note). We will try to watch this match, rest and prepare well. I try to perform well when I'm on the pitch and try to contribute to the team as much as I can. This evening he smiled at me on a penalty. It's good for the team. We will continue to work. We'll see how I feel and it will be up to the coach to make the decision. Issa Kaboré: 'It's nice to cause two penalties' A very difficult match. We wanted 3 points and we got 1 point. We will correct the mistakes and move forward. It's nice to cause two penalties. We are here for Burkina Faso. Adamo Nagalo: 'We keep our heads held high for the next match' My injury is better. We are playing against a very competitive team. We knew how to manage throughout the meeting. Obviously we had to win this match this match but that's football. It happens every time. We remain with our heads held high for the next match. Hervé Kouakou Koffi: 'We are not giving up' Above all, no disappointment. Many of you saw what happened throughout the match. We held on against a great Algerian team who were undoubtedly coming to get their first three points. It was not the case. For our part we were trying to qualify as quickly as possible to be safe. Nothing is over yet as there is one match left. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my teammates for this match they had this evening. We are not giving up. Algeria delivered a good match like us too. Many people did not expect this face of Burkina Faso. People thought it was going to be a different match where we were going to be completely dominated by Algeria. It was not the case. It's up to us to prove that we deserve our first place in the last match. Mohamed Konaté: 'Everything is in front of us' It's a bit disappointing but it's still a competition. You just have to raise your head and concentrate for the next match. We are professional players. No matter what tactics are offered to us, we must apply them to the maximum and try to win the match. We tried to do it and victory eluded us, but everything is in front of us. We have our luck and everything will be fine. Source: Burkina Information Agency
