Quotes
Yéhvann Diouf
Senegal's second goalkeeper
“Maybe people read something into those towels, but in any case they were only used to dry the gloves and the face when it’s raining. I was just as surprised as you were, but like the team as a whole, we stuck together, and Edouard was able to get the towels he needed.”
