Pape Thiaw : « Dans cette équipe, tous les joueurs sont titulaires »
On the eve of the friendly match against Gambia, coach Pape Thiaw discussed his squad management and the players' mindset. He stated that there is no "preferred starting eleven" within the national team. "I repeat: in this team, everyone is a starter. Perhaps one day I will determine a fixed starting eleven or set of starters, but for now, that's not the case. All the players have their role and demonstrate it in every match."
The Senegalese coach emphasizes the cohesion and team spirit that characterize this squad. "Even when we make changes, the identity of our game, the desire, and the intensity are always there. What I love about this group is the healthy competition and the spirit of mutual support. They are true patriots: everyone wants the team to shine and for us to win together."
For Pape Thiaw, this collective approach is essential, especially with the World Cup approaching. "Often, African teams go there so that certain players can shine individually. For us, it's the team that must shine. Of course, some players stand out in competitions, but the main objective remains the collective."
The coach emphasizes that his team has fully embraced this philosophy. "We see real cohesion, a mindset that pushes everyone to fight for each other. All for one, one for all. And that's truly beautiful to witness."
