00:09We will do our best to win the first match.
00:13As for what happened in 2002, we were not there.
00:16We were a new generation of players, so I hope we can win this time.
00:20They have a good team, I played against many of them too.
00:23I have friends there who played in the team, like Niokate, Gueye, Saar.
00:30Mateta is a brother to me, because we play together.
00:35We discussed things, we have a connection at Crystal Palace.
00:40He's a great kid.
00:42When his minor arrived into the team, it was not easy for him.
00:45I saw him there and I approached him and asked him whether he was shy.
00:50He doesn't speak much, so yeah, I started to chat with him.
00:53I told him positive things, such as, I know your qualities.
00:56Thank you too.
00:58It's a good one.
00:59Do you have a message you'd like to send to Ismaila?
01:02Before the match?
01:03Yeah.
01:04My boy.
01:05This is not Crystal Palace anymore.
01:07This is Senegal vs France.
01:09May the best team win.
01:11Let's do it.
01:12Good luck.
01:14As he said himself, Crystal Palace is over for now.
01:18It's time to focus on the World Cup.
01:22It's about representing the nation.
01:24And to that, may the best team win.
01:28And I hope we will win.
01:29We will win.
01:33Thanks, my guy.
01:35Have a good match.
01:36Good luck.
01:37And have a great World Cup.
01:39I hope you'll be the top goalscorer.
01:42I'm here, ready for the team.
01:44Ready for the coach to give him the chance to play.
01:47I'd like to help the team win.
01:49We all have fun too.
01:50The atmosphere is great.
01:52I'm not excited.
01:54I'm more focused than excited.
01:56And determined for the upcoming matches.
02:00It will be an incredible match to play in.
02:04The team in 2002 had to put the work in.
02:09Now it's up to us to create our own history.
02:11And we'll see you next time.
02:14We'll see you next time.
02:15We'll see you next time.
