Malang Sarr : l’agacement de Ferdinand Coly
If it were up to Ferdinand Coly, Malang Sarr would be on Pape Thiaw's list for the 2026 World Cup. The Lens defender is on the preliminary list, but his participation in the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is uncertain. The problem? The national team coach hasn't publicly commented on the matter, but the public criticizes the former Chelsea player for snubbing the Lions of Teranga, despite Aliou Cissé, the former head coach, actively courting him. The controversy irritates Ferdinand Coly. "I'm going to speak to you as a former international player. Today, I'm still surprised when I hear people say that Malang shouldn't come," the former Lions captain fumed in an interview published this Tuesday in L'Observateur.
Coly continued: “He spoke out, but it was at a certain point in his career. He had to make some choices. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way he wanted. Today, he has matured. We saw the great performance he had this year. The results and his season show that he has gained experience and solidity. He is a player who has everything to offer the Senegalese national team. This controversy surrounding Malang Sarr is unwarranted. He is Senegalese, he meets the criteria. He performed well this year. His inclusion on this list doesn't surprise me. I am very happy for him, for his season, and perhaps for his selection.”
