“It is time to believe in the seriousness of African football. We have intellect and brain and we need to be taken seriously. We have the ability,” N’Diaye said. “We represent Africa and all of Africa are proud of us, We are confident and we never doubted ourselves. We were a bit lucky with the scoreline,” he added.
N’Diaye said that his players had the talent. “This is a day of pride and we have succeeded. My players are of high standard and they achieved a great victory. All Africans should be proud of this,” he said.
N’Diaye said: “Everybody supported us, the fans, the management. Now, with this victory, we have created a difference and we hope to be respected. I told my players to have belief in themselves and we could win. And they did. They attacked all the time.”
N’Diaye praised his goalkeeper Muteba Kidiaba, who pulled off some great saves. “They held possession and they controlled the game with some neat passing. But after they frittered away chances, we started believing in ourselves. Don’t forget that goalkeeper was excellent and he was like a magician,” he said.
Meanwhile, SC Internacional coach Celso Roth said they had huge expectations but the result didn’t go their way.
“We had great expectations. We had the quality but unfortunately we couldn’t get the result in our favour,” Roth said. Roth said it would be a tough semifinal and it turned out that way. “We were hoping for a final against Inter Milan. But we knew this would be a complicated game and it was,” he said.
Roth praised TP Mazembe and said they were a strong team. “They are playing in the competition for a second time which shows they are good. They defended well. Football is like that—if you dominate and don’t score, you don’t win. It was time for Africa to win but unfortunately it was in the semifinal and it was against us. Africa is improving a lot. I don’t feel bad about losing to an African team,” said Roth.
