The captain of Angolan national soccer team Paulo Figueiredo Thursday pointed out lack of collective play as the main gap of Senegal, opponents of Palancas Negras in the second round of group D of the African Cup of Nations (CAN2008), taking place in Ghana.
Speaking to press, at the end of a training session, the Angolan mid-fielder, who might not play on Sunday, acknowledged the qualities of Senegalese squad, but he stressed the fact that they prioritize individual plays in detriment of collective ones.
"They are individually strong, but weak in collective plays. We should explore this weak point in order to reach our objective, which is to win the three points.
About the 1-1 draw against South Africa, Figueiredo said that the national team were not luck to keep the advantage up to the end of the match and he gave merit to the adversaries for the goal scored in few minutes of the end.
Angola play next Sunday against Senegal, while South Africa take on Tunisia, for the same group.
