Patrick Vieira : la grande différence avec Aliou Cissé, Pape Thiaw et Cie
Unlike Pape Thiaw and Aliou Cissé, Patrick Vieira has been making numerous visits to stadiums and clubs since taking over as manager of the Lions of Senegal. L'Observateur appreciates this approach of engaging with the fans, which in some ways resembles that of Claude Le Roy and has already generated positive reactions within the Senegalese football community.
After attending the match between Guédiawaye FC and Dakar Sacré-Cœur at the Amadou Barry Stadium, the opening match of the championship, the new coach of Senegal's national A team visited Teungueth FC, who were preparing for the African Champions League. He also demonstrated his interest in women's football by meeting with the Lionesses, while simultaneously participating in a meeting between the Organizing Committee for the Youth Olympic Games (COJOJ) and various sports federations.
In the pages of the Future Media Group's daily newspaper, Pape Fall, a former Senegalese international, considers this approach "simply normal." He believes that Pape Thiaw's successor cannot limit himself to managing the national team and must also take an interest in the local league, particularly to encourage young players to continue their development in Senegal. For his part, Badara Sarr, Secretary General of the Senegalese Coaches' Union, notes that previous coaches of the Lions had not adopted such an approach, even though, he emphasizes, these visits should allow for a better understanding of the realities of local football and the profiles of available players.
Technical experts advocate for a long-term approach, particularly through collaboration with the National Technical Director (DTN) and regional and departmental technical advisors to strengthen youth training. The Observer hopes this closer relationship will foster better integration between the national team and the development of local football.

Bonne chance à Vieira, on va le soutenir aussi car c’est un Sénégalais comme nous tous.
Viera n'a encore rien gagné, il faut lui souhaiter bonne chance et arrêter les comparaisons.
