Choc face à la France : Pape Thiaw refuse de parler d'exploit et envoie un message fort
The national coach believes that Senegal now possesses the experience, quality, and consistency necessary to compete with the best teams in the world. For him, the Lions' performances in recent years prove that Senegal has taken a significant step forward on the international stage. "For me, it wouldn't be a surprise. We have world-class players on this team, and we are the African champions," Pape Thiaw stated at a press conference.
The Senegalese coach also highlighted the Lions' consistency at the highest level, with three consecutive World Cup qualifications and three finals appearances in the last four editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. "We have qualified for three consecutive World Cups and we have played in three AFCON finals in the last four editions. This demonstrates the consistency of this team," he emphasized.
While expressing his confidence, Pape Thiaw remains aware of the difficulty of the task against a French team considered among the favorites of the competition. "We know we are going to face a very strong team. But we prepare for all our matches to win them," he stated.
The Lions' coach finally refused to talk about the element of surprise in modern football, believing that every nation that qualifies for a World Cup deserves its place at the highest level. "All the teams here have worked to qualify. Nobody is here by chance," he concluded.
