Haiti ready to run, dream and make island proud against Brazil, says Migne

Haiti manager Sebastien Migne recognizes the monumental task ahead as his team prepares to face Brazil in their first World Cup appearance since 1974. Despite a 1-0 loss to Scotland in their opening match, Migne emphasized that Haiti has "everything to gain" in their upcoming Group C clash against the five-time champions.

“

We’ll have to run more than we did against Scotland.

"We'll have to run more than we did against Scotland," Migne told reporters. "Tomorrow we've got everything to gain in a match like this. It's been 52 years since we last featured in a World Cup, and now we're up against Brazil – we've got to live up to our fans' expectations."

Migne asserted that Haiti's ambitions remain undimmed, stating the team has already proven its worth on the global stage. "We didn't beat Scotland, but we showed that we deserve to be here," he said. "The objective hasn't changed... The objective is to try to qualify, to present a good image and to show that we deserve our place in the next round – perhaps as third-placed team."

He added that a victory against Brazil would be "absolute madness in Haiti." "When you're Haitian, you face more difficult times than easy ones. But when you step into the world of football, you dream of a moment like this – facing Brazil at a World Cup."
