Ismaïla Sarr vs Ibrahima Mbaye : Cette leçon de l’histoire de l’équipe nationale du Sénégal
Thanks to his talent and speed, Ismaïla Sarr was considered the potential successor to Sadio Mané as the Lions' playmaker, even though some always doubted him due to the winger's inconsistency. But since last Saturday's match against the DRC, his very starting position is in question. And some were quick to find a successor in Ibrahima Mbaye, who turned the game around in a matter of minutes when the Lions were lacking inspiration. Today, Sarr is being vilified while Mbaye is being lauded. Some newspapers are even suggesting a changing of the guard between the two men.
However, the history of the national football team calls for much more caution. There are plenty of examples, even just from the last 20 years. The most obvious example is undoubtedly that of Keita Diao Baldé. Highly anticipated by the public, Baldé made a sensation from his very first match. The fans immediately hailed him as the team's new star. "This guy is more talented than Mané," "Sadio doesn't even come close," some supporters exclaimed. At the Léopold Sédar Senghor Stadium, the crowd demanded that coach Aliou Cissé bring on Keita Baldé. There was no doubt at that time that Baldé would be the next number 10, the golden boy who would lead Senegal to victory in the World Cup.
But history took a very different turn. After a relatively short period of success, Baldé went on a run of poor performances, ultimately plummeting in the standings. Today, he is no longer called up to the national team, while Sadio Mané continues to shine.
This example of Baldé can also be applied to Mbaye Niang. A fan favorite from the start, he too didn't last long enough as a center forward. Those familiar with the 2002 team remember very talented players like Sylvain Ndiaye who didn't achieve the longevity expected of them. The point here isn't to question the talent of certain players. Ibrahima Mbaye isn't at PSG by chance. Those who saw Sylvain Ndiaye play know he's very good. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond our control, the results don't always live up to the promise of the blossoming.
When Kalidou Fadiga suffered health problems, the Lions' playmaker position was filled with many empty promises. Babacar Guèye, Issa Ba, Rahmane Barry, and others all came and went, some even inheriting the number 10 jersey; but in the end, they failed to live up to Fadiga's legacy, the magical left-footer.
All this to say that we must recognize Mbaye's talent and wish him long-term success, while being careful not to send Ismaïla Sarr to the bench too quickly, or even to the team's museum.

This is what I do......................................... CASH43.COM
Sarr reviens de blessure et il le met 2 fois titulaire. On voit même qu'il fait attention à ne pas se blesser à nouveau.
Noon way
ce site ne doit pas s'appeler SENWEB.le Sénégal est devenu vraiment trop nul ,il faut vraiment revoir nos systèmes éducatifs .
Pour vous la nouvelle génération, Thierno Youm représentait la vitesse, plus rapide que Ismaīla Sarr
La technique, plus technique que toute notre ligne d’attaque a l’exception de ilimane Ndiaye
Thierno Youm etait audacieux, plus audacieux que Elh Ousseynou Diouf.
Espérons que peut être, un Assane Diao, un Ibrahima Mbaye ou Amara Diouf va lui ressembler.
