Qatar World Cup 2022 – Qatar vs Senegal who will win

The hope of the ‘weakest workers’ for breakthrough development

In the nearly 100-year history of the World Cup, Qatar are the only hosts with no finals experience, and are also the only new team in this World Cup – previously, they have never broken out of Asia. Despite having the home field advantage, it is extremely difficult for the Qatar team to go further in this World Cup.

However, the Qatar team has a good record in Asia in recent years. In the Asian Cup at the beginning of 2019, the Qatar team defeated Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Japan, three top Asian teams, and won the championship with a great performance of 7 consecutive victories, scoring 19 goals and conceding 1 goal. Since then, they have “transcontinental” participating in the America’s Cup, the European World Cup qualifier, and the Gold Cup in Central America and the Caribbean. Accumulating a lot of experience.

Compared to other Asian teams participating in this World Cup such as Japan and South Korea, the Qatar team is more dependent on players who play in the local league (especially Barcelona’s current coach Xavi who was once coaching Al Thaad club). Two of the natural players, Ali and Afif, are the team’s most important offensive players. In the 2019 Asian Cup, Ali scored 9 goals in 7 matches, setting an event record. Ali also scored goals in the Copa America, the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Ali, who is originally from Sudan, revealed in an interview a few days ago that he and more than 10 Qatar teammates are all from the Asbel Football Academy, They have played together for 11 years, and the tacit understanding in full. In addition, Spanish coach Sanchez, who has been coaching the Qatar team for 5 years, has also taught at the Asbel Football Academy since 2006 and is a mentor to many international players. Sanchez, who was born at the Basara Masia youth training camp, honed a fast and efficient 5-3-2 tactical system for the Qatar team. counterattacks to create points for the forwards.

The African champion dreams of returning to 2002

The last time I went to Asia to participate in the World Cup, I left an unforgettable memory for the Senegalese fans. In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the Senegalese team defeated the 1998 World Cup champion France in the first match and above r finals. Twenty years later, the World Cup is coming to Asia again, and the “Lions of Telanga” are looking forward to repeating the “feat” of their predecessors.

Bayern striker Mane, Everton midfielder Guye, Chelsea defender Coulibaly … Senegal not only has an absolute core in three lines, but also forward Sarr, midfielder Mendy, goalkeeper Go Mi and many other powerful players who have ensured their main positions in the five major European league teams.

In the African Cup of Nations held in February this year, the Senegalese team went all the way and won the championship. In the world qualifiers, the Senegal team fought against the Egyptian team led by Liverpool star Salah until the last minute, and they progressed through a thrilling penalty kick at home in the second round.

It is worth noting that the coach of this Senegalese team, Aliou Cisse, was the main force behind the team that reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup 20 years ago. (Source: Beijing News Sports, Reporter: Zhao Xiaosong)

Preliminary analysis of the Qatar vs Senegal match

This is a contest between the Asian champion and the African champion, and it is also a battle between the two losers in the first round.

In the opening match 4 days ago, the Qatar team was a different team to the one that won the Asian Cup three years ago. They were behind by 0:2 in the first 30 minutes and finally lost to a team that was not strong in Ecuador. the famous law of “the host is unbeaten in the first match” in the history of the World Cup. If it wasn’t for the opponent’s lack of strength and no intention to widen the results, this game might be a big score.

Although the Senegal team lost by the same score, they faced the Netherlands, who came second in the World Cup three times, and tried to keep the goal in more than 80 minutes. Therefore, there are differences between the same failures. And currently the Senegalese team is ranked 18th in the world. Even if Mane, the core of the team, retires due to injury, the strength of the new African champion should be higher than the Asian champion who is ranked 50th in the world.

Currently, the Qatar team is labeled as the “weakest host”. But “weakest” does not mean “worst”. The Russian team in the last World Cup and the two World Cup hosts in Korea and Japan have all been “weakest hosts”. However, if the Qatar team loses again in this campaign and out of the group stage, this “weakest host” will replace the South African team (2010 World Cup host) and become the “worst host” in the history of the World Cup.
