Sénégal-Norvège : « C’est à la fin du bal qu’on paie les musiciens », prévient Pape Thiaw
On the eve of the clash against Norway, Pape Thiaw defended his strikers, who had been criticized for their lack of clinical finishing in the defeat against France. The Lions' coach refused to panic and remained convinced that his team was on the right track.
For the Senegalese coach, the problem is not in creating opportunities, but in converting them.
“I don’t think the attack that started was bad. There was simply a lack of efficiency. I prefer players who create opportunities rather than players who don’t,” said Pape Thiaw.
The coach even sees a reason for hope in his players' ability to trouble opposing defenses. According to him, success will eventually smile upon the Lions.
"When my team creates chances, it's something beneficial. We need to score to progress in this competition and I hope that success will be there from tomorrow," he explained.
Aware of the criticism surrounding the team, Pape Thiaw assures that his players have grasped the importance of the challenge. The missed opportunities have been analyzed, and the group is working to correct course.
"The players see, hear and understand everything that is said. We have worked on this aspect and I hope they will respond," he said.
When asked about Senegal's status among the best African nations, the coach preferred to remain cautious despite the praise.
“Today, we talk about Senegal as one of the best African teams, but as they say, it’s at the end of the dance that the musicians get paid. We have just begun our journey. We will make our way and the assessment will be made at the end,” he stressed.
