The coach will have to be inventive to maintain his team's competitiveness against a Latvian opponent who will not fail to try to take advantage of this fragility.
Wilfried Yeguete nevertheless remains optimistic about his return to competition. He intends to work hard during his rehabilitation in order to quickly regain the level that made his reputation.
