And the president of their federation, Augustin Senghor, is well aware of this. ” The objective is the conservation of our trophy. It is clear that we are the team to beat (…) but everyone is working on it. There are about ten quality teams who will challenge us, but we will know how to be there with humility. We will do everything to keep this trophy at least two or three times before it goes back to other countries “, pleaded the leader with the APS.
