The Senegal national football team is preparing for its last group match of the World Cup. Coach Pape Thiaw has made significant changes in the preparation of his team.

What changes?

The technical staff of the Lions of Senegal has changed its habits by breaking with an organization that had been well established since the beginning of the competition.

Why these changes?

These adjustments aim to strengthen cohesion and collective commitment, as Senegal prepares to face Iraq. Coach Pape Thiaw wants to rebalance the preparation between recovery and cohesion work.
