17th : Blind’s header on a cross from Gakpo, but it misses the goals of Edouard Mendy.
16th : Diallo’s filthy ball behavior (PSG supporters know), but Nampalys Mendy comes to save all that.
14th : The Senegalese entered this match perfectly well. And, finally, the middle harasses the Dutch. Like what, it’s better to never have become a coach.
12th : Boulaye Dia who puts pressure on Van Dijk. That to perform in Liverpool there are people, but to face the elite of the Farmers League, it’s not that. I can tell you that the Gaetan Charbonnier Virgil Van Dijk duel, I know who wins. And it’s not the player with a ponytail.
9th : I have a slight doubt about Krépin Diatta, I’ve never seen him do well with Monaco. maybe I never came across his good matches, but so far not thrilled.
8th : Good Senegalese pressing. Sarr recovers the ball, gets his brushes a little tangled, but it flies over Noppert’s goals. they are good, the Lions of the teranga.
7th : Ouuuuh the center of Kouyaté, Cissé is a bit short. We vibrate
5th : Well, I have the impression that the defensive positioning of the two teams is weird. We should see goals (it will end in 0-0, because the attackers are useless).
3rd : Ohhhhhhhh opportunity in stride for Gakpo, found in the back. Senegal is doing miraculously.
3rd : So, we’re only three minutes into the game, but the Senegalese midfielder gives me a weird impression. Lots of space. They are much too stuck to the defense and there is a lot of gap with the offensives
1st : Oh the first hot shot. Good pressing from Sarr. Center for Dia, but his shot is blocked. Corner.
0th : Moreover always embarrassing this countdown launched by the speaker before the kickoff. You have to stop gentlemen.
0e: Here we go. Treat us gentlemen, we want game, goals, we want to vibrate.
4:58 p.m. : We are waiting for you in the comments to follow the match with us. If you have any questions, we’ll ask our experts (me) and we’ll answer you here.
4:56 p.m. : Make way for hymns ladies and gentlemen
4:52 p.m. : Come on, everything is in place. The players will soon enter the lawn.
4:40 p.m. : On the Netherlands side, there will also be a big absence, that of Memphis Depay.
4:37 p.m. : To compensate for the absence of Mané, Aliou Cissé has chosen three players who we know very well in France: Boulaye Dia (former Reims), Ismaila Sarr (former Rennes) and Krepin Diatta (Monaco).
4:34 p.m. : So, obviously, the question that arises directly, for this poster, is how Senegal will be able to do without Sadio Mané? Injured during a match with Bayern, the former Reds was still taken from Aliou Cissé’s list. But his injury was too serious and he had to forfeit.
4:30 p.m .: Hello the Minutos and the Minutas. We took out the little buns for Four hours? We are hot. We have just experienced a prolific England-Iran and we are impatient in front of this Netherlands-Senegal which is coming, the most balanced poster since the start of the competition.
Hello 20 Minutes!!!! Well, yesterday’s Qatar-Ecuador match (0-2) was… entertaining, let’s say. But we are clearly more eager to attend this Senegal – Netherlands. Because yes, it’s still nice to know more than a player and a half on a World Cup. And if obviously Sadio Mané is missing for the whole competition, and on the other side Memphis Depay too (just for this match a priori), these two teams still have a face and we can imagine them coming out of their group A. It will therefore be essential to start the tournament well, since Ecuador have seriously done the job to start on Sunday. Come on, whether you are Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong, or Kalidou Koulibaly and Idrissa Gueye, this shock of 5 p.m. is for you. And honestly, even for neutral observers, it makes you want to.
With that, we’ll meet you at 4:30 p.m. here, to discuss the atmosphere and the line-ups with you. Kick off is for 5 p.m.
