Senegal coach Pape Tiau has responded to his Belgian counterpart Rudy Garcia’s comments following the Lions of Teranga’s exit from the 2026 World Cup.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the national team of Senegal was leading (2-0) Belgium in the round of 32, before the “red devils” managed to score two consecutive goals a few minutes before the end of normal time.In the last moments of the second overtime, Yuri Tillmans scored the winning goal for the Belgian national team from a penalty kick, securing an exciting victory (3-2) and reaching the 16th round of the World Cup.
After the meeting, Rudy Garcia said: “You cannot achieve a result with only 11 players. Midway through the second half we made a good adjustment. We were losing a lot of balls, we corrected that and the situation was corrected even if we conceded a second goal. We know these teams lose their tactical structure late in the game.”
“We also knew that when the lead was 2-0 they would try to defend the result with everything, and that’s a big mistake in my opinion. They reminded me not to do that when we’re 2-0 up. Because when you concede a goal like they conceded at 1-2, the character of the game changes completely.”
At the press conference, Tiau was asked about Rudy Garcia’s statements, he answered, the “Network” network reports.Miss Mercato“This is his opinion, not mine at all, because we were in a good position. “It’s easier to talk after you win.”
He continued. “You have to accept that, watch the match and see where we went wrong. This tournament is completely over. We have to move on, look at it carefully, see where the mistakes are and try to change it next time.”
It is noteworthy that in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the Belgian team will meet with the American team, which defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-0) at dawn on Thursday.
