El Hadji Diouf has commended the work of Senegal’s head coach Pape Thiaw, highlighting the positive atmosphere within the squad as they prepare for their crucial encounters against Sudan and Togo.
The former Senegalese international expressed his admiration for the players’ dedication and their ability to swiftly adapt to the coaching staff’s expectations. “We are fortunate to have intelligent players who can adjust to any coach.
Pape Thiaw is doing an excellent job. The players are motivated, engaged, and genuinely happy to be here, which is the most important thing,” Diouf stated.
Guidance for the Newcomers
Diouf also offered words of encouragement to the latest additions to the squad, including AS Douanes forward Richard Sagna.
He emphasized the value of learning from experienced figures within the team.
“There are great players like Sadio Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly. They are there to guide the younger ones, so they should not hesitate to ask for advice.
But on the pitch, they must express themselves, play with confidence, and impose their style. If Pape Thiaw selected them, it is because they have earned the right to wear this jersey,” he remarked.
With Senegal fine-tuning their preparations for the upcoming fixtures, Diouf’s endorsement underscores the unity and ambition within Thiaw’s squad as they aim for success on the international stage.
