Sénégal - Norvège (2-3) : Le coup de gueule de Pape Alé Niang contre Pape Thiaw et la FSF
The Senegalese coach is the talk of the town this Tuesday morning, just hours after the Lions' defeat and several of his controversial choices. On X, the director general of RTS, Pape Alé Niang, launched a scathing attack, targeting Pape Thiaw as well as the Senegalese officials.
"How can we seriously prepare for a World Cup with a group that includes France and Norway without facing a European team of the same caliber? We settle for the USA and Saudi Arabia simply because they cover all the costs of the friendly matches," the journalist complains.
Pape Alé Niang also noted the defensive fragility of the Senegalese team, which conceded nine goals in just a few days against the United States (in a friendly), France, and Norway. The Director General of RTS (Senegal's national broadcasting network) didn't hesitate to criticize several choices made by coach Pape Thiaw, particularly his decision to keep Kalidou Koulibaly in the starting eleven despite alarming signs during the defeat against France. " When players themselves admit they lacked match fitness, that they were n't physically ready for a high-level competition, they are nonetheless undisputed starters. At the same time, young, physically fit players are warming the substitutes' bench. There are coaching errors in player selection and especially in the timing of substitutions."
In short, let's remain silent... and be content with Yalla bakhna (God is Good)...", concludes Pape Alé Niang.
With zero points and a negative goal difference, Senegal hopes for a miracle to be among the best third-placed teams and continue in the competition.
