Souvenirs de Krépin Diatta : «Je ne voulais pas être égoïste, j’ai dit à Aliou Cissé»
In an interview with L'Équipe, reprinted by Record, Krépin Diatta reflects on the injury that prevented him from being part of the Lions' squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon in 2022. The Monaco defender had ruptured his cruciate ligaments. The verdict: six months out. On the eve of the tournament.
A tragedy. "When I got injured, I kept going," he recalls. "At halftime, I felt my knee was unstable. The doctor looked at me and said, 'The news isn't going to be good.' I was devastated. I had tears in my eyes at home; it was emotional. I always dreamed of winning with my country."
Despite the seriousness of his injury, Krépin Diatta could have been in contention for a place in Aliou Cissé's squad. But he decided against making the trip: "After much deliberation, I told the coach that the best thing was to take a player he could rely on. I didn't want to be selfish."
Senegal will win the trophy, the first in its history. Krépin Diatta made no secret of his delight: "I am so proud of this victory, even though I wasn't there."
