"I want to appreciate our opponent today, Burkina Faso, before the game, I knew they really have the players to win this game but we motivated our boys that they are improving, we also told them to go there and win the game. "I was opportuned to see one of their game against Benin Republic, we studied it very well they are very good from the flank, good crosses and good players who can head the ball very well . "They also have good midfielders and we exactly work on them and we were able to keep them away from heading and shooting the ball at our goal," he said.
