Gambia and Djurgarden IF defender Omar Colley is hoping to see the Scorpions give a respectable performance when they host the Bafana Bafana of South Africa next Saturday in the AFCON qualifiers.
The first leg ended in a goalless draw in South Africa. The game will be played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
Gambia’s captain, Omar Colley who could not make it in the Gambian side that played against Zambia arrived in the country late but managed to watch the game.
“It is good that I am here in time for the game against South Africa after a long journey from Sweden. It is too early to talk about the team, but we all know what it takes to play for the national team and it is a big task because South Africa is not a small nation,” adding that the team is going to give its best and will try to make sure it has the three points, as the Gambia is yet to win any match in this qualifiers.
“They are called to play for the national team and it is a big thing for them and most of them are local-based players. So it is a big opportunity for them to improve themselves and show the coach what they are capable of doing,” he told Observer Sports describing the game against Zambia as a “Good test for the local-based players”.
The team was captained by defender Buba Sanneh in the absence of defender and team captain Omar Colley. The Djurgarden defender said Buba Sanneh deserved to be the captain of the team as a mature and experienced player.
