Can Senegal Bring Glory To Africa? by LasisiAyodeji: 3:52pm On Nov 25, 2022 |
At the dying minutes of preparation ahead of the 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP, Senegalese talisman Sadio Manè was withdrawn from the team that would represent Senegal at the football festival in Qatar. His immediate withdraw, was seen as a let down to the already high spirit of the newly crowned African champions. However, whilst analysis are being given on Senegal's chances without Manè, we must not be quick to forget that in 2002, Senegal under the tutorage of Bruno Metsu and the inspiration of players like Toni Silva, El-Hadj Diof, Tony Camara, Aliou Cisse, Papa Bouba Diop and Ferdinand just to mention a few, got to the quarter finals before they lost out through a golden goal against Turkey. Ever since, the nation team hasn't really done well in major tournaments until 2019 when, they had succeeded in gathering some of the finest players Africa has to offer on the global stage. The resultant is that, they became champions of Africa for the very first time in February 2022. Exactly 20 years after they had lost out on penalties to Cameroon. Though comprising of a highly talented set of players, one might begin to downplay the chances of Senegal's surprise element in Qatar due to the absence of the inspirational Sadio Manè. At the same time, if we look holistically at the depth in their squad, one might see reasons why this team can make it as far as the semi finals and possibly lift the trophy. 3 Likes |

LasisiAyodeji, kindly let me know who's supplying you "Whiskey Echo Echo Delta" because your write-up isn't something one in his normal reasoning should be doing. No offence bro.... Haba mana, after just beating Qatar ba? Let them play Ecuador in their last group game and see where they go from there... Moreso, looking holistically at which squad depth? Man, have you seen the French National team or Brazil? ....I dey go far, even the Dutch that beat them 2-0 in their first game? Make Dem just participate that's all. 1 Like 2 Shares |
