LIBREVILLE, October 10 (AGP) – The first list of the new national coach of Gabon, Thierry Mouyouma, resembles, to be mistaken, those that his predecessor, Patrice Neveu, often gave us, except for the arrival of a few youngsters.
Highly anticipated, the very first list of the new Gabon coach, Thierry Mouyouma, was delivered this Tuesday. Certainly in an unconventional format (no press conference), but the message still got through. The least we can say is that this tends towards what had very often been served to us by his predecessor, the Frenchman Patrice Neveu.
The great upheaval so hoped for by several observers of this selection, in search of creative geniuses and pure talents, therefore did not take place. You will still have to be patient. At least for this time.
Obviously, we will not holds rigor to Thierry Mouyouma. Even if it means alienating the followers of the theory of “ you can’t make something new out of something old.”
The project being immense, the context quite heavy and heavy, this coach who is said to be passionate about beautiful football, is certainly aware that he will need time to build a team to his liking. And the return of central defender Bruno Écuele Manga visibly fits into this logic. Just like the confirmation in the midfield of the immutable Kanof Guelor, Andrew Poko, and Didier Ibrahim Ndong.
The offensive sector has also not undergone any major changes, although the presence of the young Alan Do Marcolino remains, in the eyes of many analysts, a real intrigue, even a footballing anomaly. Just like that of Aaron Boupendza. Several supporters would have liked to see for this friendly match against Guinea, the profile of a Junior Bayanho, for example.
Novelty department, we note the arrival in defense of young Oyono Jeremy, brother of Anthony Oyono, but also that of Wilmy Rissonga, member of Avoine Olympique (National 2, France). An opening and a rejuvenation of the group certainly necessary, but which nevertheless raises questions. This, considering the service records of these two young people. The first did not shine during the last U23 African Cup of Nations in Morocco, the second playing in a National 2 club in France. So these are not cracks, to be completely clear. Hence the urgent need to restart National Football. At the risk, for Thierry Mouyouma, of also only having to deal with expatriates playing for the most part in so-called exotic or second zone championships. The Case of the “revenant” Clench Loufilou (Oman).
