Kalidou Koulibaly après Sénégal - France : « On a trop pensé à 2002 »
After Senegal's defeat (3-1) against France in their opening match of the World Cup, the Lions' captain, Kalidou Koulibaly, spoke lucidly about this setback, which he considers frustrating.
According to the defender, interviewed by RFI and quoted by L'Observateur, the team wasted "a lot of mental energy" due to the incessant comparisons made by the public and the media with the historic match of 2002, won at the time by the generation of El Hadji Diouf.
"I also think that a lot of mental energy was wasted because everyone was talking about the 2002 game," he explained, believing that these constant references may have influenced the group's concentration.
Far from being discouraged, Koulibaly believes this match should now be put behind him. He calls on his teammates to immediately refocus on the rest of the competition, in a spirit of unity, with their sights set on the crucial upcoming match against Norway.
