Senegal team against Mozambique: A framework that combines support and openness

For his first official meeting at the head of the Lions, against Mozambique, Patrick Vieira’s starting lineup combines continuity and renewal, with some strong choices.

Patrick Vieira chooses a system which makes it possible to maintain benchmarks while introducing new profiles. The coach seems to have maintained a known tactical framework, the 4-3-3.

The choice of goalkeeper constitutes one of the first markers of the new era. With the international retirement of Édouard Mendy, Yehvann Diouf, who benefits from the confidence of the coach, will have to show his marks. Moussa Niakhaté, promoted to captain, will undoubtedly be the boss of the defensive line.

He will be reinforced by Lamine Sy, Sadibou Sané and El Hadji Malick Diouf. In midfield, we find Lamine Camara, Pape Matar Sarr and Pape Gueye, three experienced. This trio therefore offers a balance between recovery, projection and ability to play under pressure.

The attack is made up of a trio with Abdallah Sima, Nicolas Jackson and Assane Diao. Here, Jackson remains the most experienced. He will rely on the youth and desire to prove of his two other teammates.
