Mondial 2026 : Pierre Ménès qualifie de « déplacée et stupide » la sortie de Rudi Garcia sur le Sénégal
Senegal's dramatic elimination by Belgium (3-2) in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup continues to generate heated debate in the media. After the match, the Red Devils' coach, Rudi Garcia, used his qualification to openly criticize Pape Thiaw's handling of the end of the game. Trailing 2-0 until the 86th minute, the Belgians turned the game around to win in extra time.
Rudi Garcia described Senegal's strategy as a "serious mistake" and quipped to the press, "Remind me, when we're 2-0 up, not to do that!" The French coach of Belgium drove the point home, adding condescendingly, "We know these teams; they lose their tactical control towards the end of the match."
This ironic remark was not at all appreciated by the famous French football pundit, Pierre Ménès. In a post shared on social media on July 2, 2026, Ménès firmly rebuked the French coach of Belgium. Although he initially softened his stance by writing, "I really like Rudi Garcia," the journalist did not hide his annoyance at this lack of humility.
Pierre Ménès described Garcia's statements as completely unjustified, stating bluntly that "his post-match comments were as inappropriate as they were stupid." According to the pundit, Belgium's last-minute qualification, secured by a penalty in extra time, was pure luck rather than any supposed strategic superiority. He concluded his remarks sharply by suggesting that Rudi Garcia "would have been better off lighting a candle in church for the Belgian miracle."
