Moussa Diao, father of Assane Diao, has reacted for the first time about his son's international future. He says that the Como striker with 5 goals in 10 Serie A games is hesitating between Senegal and Spain.
"It's true that he has both options and that he is doubtful. I want him to choose what makes him happy. He is hesitant and I just told him that we would support his decision," Moussa said first. "Whatever he decides will be perfect. I just told him that in Spain there is a lot of competition and that in Senegal it might be a little more difficult for him because of the difficulty of integrating, but the most important thing is his desire and I can't tell him anything more," he said on As.
"In Spain, Assane knows the lower categories, everyone knows who he is, but Senegal is another possibility. We are very happy (with his performances in Italy). He is happy and things are going well for him. But the most difficult thing,
even if he is in the national team, is to stay at this level and for that he knows he has to work hard and continue like this. Cesc Fabregas was decisive in signing Assane and now he is decisive because of the trust he feels from his coach. We saw it when we were there with him, we saw what Cesc means to him," he added.
