SENEGAL: EL HADJ DIOUF “THE LIONS WILL BE ELIMINATED” – VIDEO!
In a surprising move during a time of intense focus on the crucial match between the Lions of Teranga and the Elephants of Ivory Coast for the return leg of the play-offs for the Brazil 2014 World Cup, El Hadj Diouf has unexpectedly expressed doubt about Senegal’s chances. According to him, “The Lions will not be in Brazil.”
The former Senegalese international attributes this potential elimination to the management of the football federation’s leaders, particularly its president, Augustin Senghor. While there is significant motivation from the government, the technical staff, the players, and the public to reverse the outcome against Didier Drogba and his teammates in Casablanca, Morocco, on November 16, 2014, Diouf’s statements cast a shadow of skepticism. In the first leg, the Lions of Teranga suffered a 1-3 defeat in Abidjan.
