The Ebola pathogen struck Guinea tough between 2014 and 2016, claiming a lives of 2,543 people and promulgation thousands others to hospital. During that time a country’s clubs and inhabitant organisation were forced to play their home games distant away, usually returning when a risk acted by a pathogen had subsided.

The problems it combined did not have any impact on performances on a representation though, as a country’s gift for a FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea Republic progressing this year and afterwards for India 2017 showed. Achievements such as those have been finished probable by a era of means players who are concerned to uncover a universe what they are able of.

We finished it notwithstanding a problems we had during a Africa Cup of Nations. I’m a immature manager entrance adult opposite some really gifted operators, yet that hasn’t stopped us from earning a place during a U-17 World Cup.”

Looking behind on a obstacles Guinea faced in qualifying, Camara said: “There’s talent in Guinea and we also have training academies now. The boss of a inhabitant FA is in a routine of environment adult a training centre that will open in 6 months’ time. Ebola caused us a lot of problems yet we managed to arise to a challenge. The success we’ve had is down to a talent of a Guinean players, and it’s not for zero that we’re famous as ‘the Brazil of Africa’.”

A tough test
The pull for India 2017 was not kind on Guinea, who will take on Germany, Costa Rica and Iran in a organisation phase. “It’s a formidable group. The Iranians played Japan 3 times and came divided with a win and dual draws. I’m awaiting them to be really strong. I’ve oral with a manager of Costa Rica, who we consider will be one of a best teams during a U-17 World Cup, along with Brazil. And as for Germany, they don’t need any introduction.”

Setting out his goals for a competition, Camara said: “We have to strech a second round. It’s too early to speak about winning a competition. It won’t be easy since we’ve got players who are still developing. They’re going to be entrance adult opposite veteran players who’ve already picked adult profitable knowledge during reserve-team turn with clubs like Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Despite that gap, we’ll be giving all we’ve got to go as distant as we can, yet it won’t be easy.

“Every manager has their possess philosophy,” he added. “I feel we should be forgetful about removing over a organisation phase, something that no organisation from Guinea has ever finished before. After that, we can start focusing on a following rounds and perplexing to go all a way. We need to bear in mind that we’re going to be competing during a really high level, that means we have to be discreet and honour a opponents.”

Good preparations, large ambitions
Like a rest of a teams who will be using out during India 2017, Guinea are holding their preparations really seriously: “After Gabon 2017 [U-17 Africa Cup of Nations], we concluded to give a players a few weeks off. Our preparations are going as expected. We had a one-month training stay in Italy followed by another ten-day stay in Abu Dhabi. And we’re going to keep on scheming tough so that we can open a warn during a World Cup.”

Summing up, Camara underlined a significance of improving on Guinea’s opening during a U-17 World Cup Chile 2015, where they drew with England before losing to Korea Republic and Brazil: “I wish we can do improved than a integrate of years ago. We need to work tough if we’re going to do that since it’s a large step-up in category from a Africa Cup of Nations to a World Cup. Personally, we see myself as an desirous manager who’s always looking to get good results.”
