Scorer against PSG (4-2) last Saturday in the 26th day of Ligue 1, FC Nantes striker Ignatius Ganago is still in shock over the death of his daughter three weeks ago. In an interview with Ouest-France after the game, the Cameroonian striker returned to his last weeks and his return to competition.
"For me, the key is to play soccer. To see my teammates every day. To laugh with them. It takes my mind off things," he said. The 24-year-old player also spoke about the many support he received, including that of the Parisian star, Kylian Mbappé.
"It was complicated at first because it was still fresh. Even today, it's still a bit complicated," he admits. But there are many people who supported me, who gave me strength. And that too, has really marked me. Everything I do today is for her. I want to fight for her. I thank today all those who supported me. Today, I spoke for example with Kylian (Mbappé), he gave me a lot of strength. It's nice to see people like that thinking about you."
Ganago will have have to quickly put the tragedy behind him as he has been preselected for the Indomitable Lions ahead of AFCON 2023 qualifiers against Namibia in a few weeks from now.
