Congo Republic coach Le Roy blasts CAF
Bata (Equatorial Guinea): Head coach of Congo Republic Claude Le Roy has blasted the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for the disrespect they showed to his team.
The much travelled French coach said during a press conference that CAF showed high levels of disrespect when they delayed his team in traffic, gave them a bus without air conditioning and spent lots of time on the way to the stadium before their opening match against hosts Equatorial Guinea Saturday night, as per reports.
“CAF simply do not understand that they have to protect players and instead they are doing something else. They have to improve,” said a furious Le Roy.
The Congo Republic team fought from a goal down to hold the hosts to a 1-1 draw at the Bata Stadium.
Le Roy went ahead to say even if Equatorial Guinea saved the situation and accepted to host the Afcon event after Morocco had withdrawn, CAF should learn how handle teams better.
Speaking about the performance of his team, he said the players were a little down because of what they went through, but was quick to add that they played well in the last 30 minutes and had the chance to win the game.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
