Mondial 2026 : « Sonner la révolte », le message fort de Pape Thiaw avant le match de la dernière chance
On the eve of Senegal's third and final group match, national coach Pape Thiaw delivered a clear-headed and determined speech at the traditional pre-match press conference. Following the defeat in their previous match against Norway, the Lions' coach believes his team has no other option and must react swiftly to have any hope of remaining in the competition.
Fully aware of the criticism now surrounding the Senegalese national team, long considered among the favorites to win the tournament, the coach acknowledged that expectations from the public and pundits were particularly high. "There's a lot of talk, of course, especially after a defeat when we were among the teams mentioned as favorites. Now, we have to react and rally the troops," Pape Thiaw firmly stated to the media professionals.
The coach is not trying to shirk his managerial responsibilities and, on the contrary, is calling for a profound collective self-examination within the squad. According to him, the expected surge of patriotism and sporting spirit must come from both the coaching staff and the players on the pitch. "It's important, both tactically, from my perspective, and in terms of the players' attitude and commitment. Everyone needs to take a hard look at themselves in order to bounce back," he added, thus launching a call for national unity before this crucial match.
