Mozambique - Sénégal (1-1) : les tops et les flops
In Patrick Vieira's first match in charge, the Lions of Teranga were held to a draw by the Mambas. Despite Nicolas Jackson opening the scoring in the 32nd minute, the reigning African champions couldn't keep a clean sheet. Here are the highs and lows.
The tops
Lamine Camara
Positioned at the base of the midfield, Lamine Camara was the metronome of Senegal's play. The majority of the first balls went through him. As a result, we saw a rediscovery of some of the qualities that made Camara one of the best midfielders in France, if not Europe. His first half was also very good off the ball. Under Vieira's high press, Camara won back possession several times with intelligent clearances, without exposing the defense. Unfortunately, he faded in the second half, like the rest of the Senegalese team.
Abdallah Sima
The Lens player was very effective on the left flank of the attack. Although he lacked a clinical finish and the final touch despite several scoring opportunities, his initiatives caused the Mozambican defense a lot of problems. His performance was rewarded with an assist for Nicolas Jackson's goal. With a bit more clinical finishing, he could have taken his performance from good to excellent.
The flops
The lawn
The pitch at the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium has been criticized, so what about the one in Maputo? Damaged in some places, hollow in others, the Estadio Nacional's pitch did not lend itself to good play. It serves as a stark reminder of the harsh reality of African football, marked by perilous journeys on pitches that are sometimes unplayable.
The second period
Senegal showed two different faces this afternoon. One during the first 45 minutes, with an imposing style of play, coordinated high pressing, fluid passing sequences, and several scoring opportunities in set attacks. Then a second face after the break. During the last 45 minutes, Senegal seemed exhausted, lacking ideas, and visibly affected by the goal conceded just before halftime. Vieira's substitutions made no difference.
Sadibou Sané
Convincing in the first half, notably with a strong and consistent intervention in the box, the Monaco defender made a series of errors in the second half. In the 79th minute, he completely misplaced a pass, gifting a two-on-two attack to Mozambique. Moussa Niakhaté had to intervene to prevent Senegal from conceding a chance, giving Sané a dressing-down for the occasion. In the 84th minute, Sané, as the last defender, misjudged his header, leaving the Mozambican striker one-on-one. This time, he quickly recovered to clear the ball. Against such superior attackers, these errors could have been costly for the Lions.

Le Sénégal a de bon défenseurs et milieu défensive. On a aussi de bons ailiers mais pas de buteur efficace. L'équipe a besoin d'un meneur de jeu maintenant que Sadio Mane est en fin de carrière. Iliman Ndiaye peut le faire mais il faut le l’adhésion de l'entraineur et de la persistance. Il a les qualités techniques pour le faire (protection de balle, dribble, passes, accélération). Neymar était un numéro 10 qui préférait l'aile doc Iliman peut le faire. Même Haaland voit Neymar en Iliman Ndiaye. Une équipe a besoin d'un meneur et il est temps que le Sénégal choisisse le remplaçant de Sadio Mane. Iliman est suspendu le prochain match mais avec le match amical en France, if faudra lui donner les commandes de l'équipe comme l’avait fait son entraineur a Everton. C'est un joueur qui a besoin de confiance pour jouer librement.
Viera doit avoir un system et choisir les meilleurs joueurs pour son système même si ça prend du temps. Sinon l'équipe n'ira nulle part jouant comme aujourd'hui.
Il n’a jamais réussi nulle part ou il a été nommé entraîneur.
À la fin de la trêve internationale, nous n’aurons que les yeux pour pleurer. Il faut prier pour que nous ne perdions pas trop de points en faisant les comptes
