Oussama Darragi

Tunisian international playmaker Ousemma Darragi has spoken to team-tunisie.net about his national side’s final World Cup qualifier against Mozambique. With the decisive match less than two weeks away, the trusty technician has called for total concentration on the task ahead.

“We have to win, we don’t have a choice. A draw would be to the benefit of Nigeria if they beat Kenya. It’s a decisive meeting that will require maximal concentration and a great deal of rigor because Mozambique are also playing for their African Cup of Nations place,” he explained.

The youngster was also asked about the fantastic closed angle goal that he scored in Abuja against Nigeria in the 89th minute of the crucial encounter, ensuring the match ended 2-2.

He continued, “It was a really important goal for the national team. The draw we achieved against Nigeria allowed us to conserve our leadership in the group, and opened the doors to qualification.

"I have to admit that it was a nice moment of my international career. I have fond memories of the excitement and the feeling of scoring."
