[Billet d’humour] Quand Pape Thiaw copie Aliou Cissé : les cadres matin, midi et soir !
They say nerves don't lie. And neither did those of the Senegalese supporters. Against France, in the opening match, many had the unpleasant feeling of witnessing not a football match, but a union meeting of the "senior players" of the national team.
Because ultimately, by constantly respecting status, don't we end up disrespecting the pitch itself? In modern football, the player's record doesn't reflect successful passes, distances covered, or duels won. The pitch is an unforgiving judge: it knows neither seniority, nor rank, nor glorious memories.
Clearly, Pape Thiaw wanted to put his faith in his experienced players. A noble intention. But meanwhile, Didier Deschamps was reading the match like a detective novel, while our bench seemed stuck in the preface. The substitutions arrived with all the punctuality of a train on strike: far too late.
Everyone knew that Idrissa Gana Gueye and Kalidou Koulibaly were lacking match fitness after a long period without competitive action. Yet, they were asked to extend their time on the pitch until the tactical setup of the first half began to resemble a hut after the rainy season. He pulled an Aliou Cissé!
And then there's Ibrahima Mbaye. The eternal "super sub." A strange promotion that consists of being excellent without ever getting the starting position. Every time he comes on, he tears defenses apart, creates danger, scores or sets up goals. At this rate, he might end up a starter… in retirement.
While Spain entrusted responsibilities to a teenager named Lamine Yamal, Senegal watched its young talents from the bench. Yet, Assane Dia, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, and others are waiting for only one thing: for someone to open the door for them instead of showing them the handle.
Football isn't a retirement home for deserving executives. It's a competition where only the fittest should play. Feelings make for beautiful songs. Trophies, however, prefer clear thinking.
