For Paul Put, he has been working in for the psychology of the players since the day he arrived in the Gambia. "I think that is one of my strongest points. I worked on psychology to get the players ready and motivated. And I think the players know what they have in their possibilities and that they can write history".
He added that "what I have been seeing against the matches with Senegal at home and Algeria in Gambia has given me a great feeling to have such a kind of support behind the fans. "So I am very sure that the people will give their support at home before the television and they would pray so that we can have a good result in Senegal".
