Coupe du monde 2026 : Pape Thiaw garde espoir malgré la défaite du Sénégal face à la Norvège (3-2)
Senegal suffered another defeat in this World Cup, losing to Norway (3-2). After the match, the Lions' coach, Pape Thiaw, acknowledged the opponent's superiority while urging his team to remain focused ahead of the final group stage match.
"We must congratulate the Norwegian team," the Senegalese coach began. According to him, the match came down to details that ultimately went in favor of the Scandinavians. "We were missing that little something, but football often comes down to details," he explained.
Despite the disappointment, Pape Thiaw believes his team must quickly learn from this poor performance. The coach particularly lamented his players' lack of composure at certain key moments in the match.
“After conceding, the players wanted to quickly regain the lead, but it didn’t happen. We needed to stay calm and manage certain situations better,” he analyzed.
The Senegalese coach assured that the technical staff would conduct a thorough analysis of the match in order to correct the errors observed against Norway.
Despite this complicated situation, Pape Thiaw refuses to give up. He points out that qualification is still mathematically possible before the final matchday.
“Nothing is over yet. Everything can still be decided in the last match. We will prepare well. It’s not the result we wanted, but we have to accept this defeat and move on,” he concluded.
The Lions will now have to achieve a positive result in their final outing and rely on a favorable scenario to hope to continue the adventure in the competition.
