It’s noteworthy that the local selection of Senegal is scheduled to play a friendly match against Chile, and coach Demba Ramata N’Diaye has announced a list of 18 players for this encounter.
Among the players selected, several promising talents from the Teranga Lions are set to participate. This includes goalkeeper Maguette Gningue (27 years old), central defender Abdoulaye Diallo (20 years old, 1m90), attacking midfielder Aliou Coly (20 years old – voted the best player in the Senegalese championship), and striker Pape Sané (21 years old – top scorer). These players will have the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of Chilean coach Jorge Sampaoli.
It’s interesting to note that this local team was assembled before the appointment of the French technician, Alain Giresse, adding an additional layer to the dynamics of the squad. Friendly matches serve as crucial opportunities for teams to assess their players, tactics, and overall readiness, and this encounter against Chile will likely provide valuable insights for the Senegalese team.
