Named best player of the first half of the Senegalese Ligue 1, Raphael Ndong distinguished himself in the colors of US Gorée. A defensive midfielder, the Fadiouth native has put in a string of excellent performances for the Islanders since the start of the season, earning him the title of best player of the first half by the Professional League.

 

"This is an award that will push me to work harder. To be honest, this distinction is not a surprise to me, as it is the result of a lot of work. However, I will continue to work even harder, because for me this is just the beginning: I am aiming very high," said the Gorean regulator, who played 14 of the 15 matches in the first half of the season.

 

For the second part of the season, despite the difficulties encountered by the island club, now joined in the standings by Jaraaf, Raphael Ndong remains optimistic:

"I think nothing is decided yet. There are still many games left and anything can happen. Of course, we now have the same number of points as Jaraaf, but the race is not over and we maintain the same mentality: that of winning the title," he assured.

 

Asked about the new policy of national coach Pape Thiaw, who calls on local players, the Gorean midfielder welcomes this approach and considers it as an additional source of motivation for the championship residents:

"I think this shows that the coach is also thinking about the league players. Richard Sagna deserves his call-up to the national team. I know him well from having played against him. He's a very talented player."

 

Regarding his personal goals, Raphaël Ndong has a long view:

"My short-term ambition is to play in the CHAN with Senegal. But like all Senegalese players, my dream is to join the national senior team," he concluded.

    Bonne continuation, jeune homme. A défaut de l'équipe nationale, ta place est largement méritée au CHAN.
