« C’est une question politique » : Pape Thiaw esquive un sujet brûlant en conférence de presse
Faced with questions about off-field issues, particularly the situation of Senegalese fans denied visas and unable to travel to the United States, the Senegalese coach reiterated his priority. Speaking at the pre-match press conference scheduled for the eve of tomorrow's Senegal-France game, the coach immediately stated his position. "It's a somewhat political issue. I prefer to talk about what happens on the pitch," he initially replied.
Pape Thiaw, however, was quick to emphasize the importance of fan support for his team, even in the absence of supporters who had traveled directly from Senegal. "We would have loved to have our fans. We know what they can bring us, especially in difficult times, to help us get back on our feet," he explained to reporters.
To compensate for this lack of fans, the coach highlighted the strong presence of the Senegalese community in the United States, which he considers a real source of support for the Lions against Les Bleus. "Even if we don't have the fans from Senegal, we have a large community here. Senegalese people love their country and their team. You'll see tomorrow, it will feel like they're right here with us," he asserted.
Pape Thiaw hopes that this enthusiasm from the diaspora will help propel his team to a positive result in their opening match. "God willing, the fans will be behind us, and we hope to finish the match with a feeling of satisfaction," he concluded.
