AFCON 2022

Two of the Senegal team we were linked with last month featured tonight.

Diallo, the PSG centre back looked really good and Dieng was pretty impressive when he came on in the second half (except for the Yarmolenko-esque dive).

Be interesting to see if their names come up again in the summer.

Were we linked with them? Thought Dieng looked really suited for us in that cameo and Diallo was good all tournament. Left footed as well.

Yeah, I mean there weren't many players based in France that we weren't linked with, but Diallo in particular excited me. Hopefully we'll revisit that move later in the year.

Kouyate gets a winners medal 👍Glad Egypt didn't- they only scored 4 goals in the entire tournament, and with the most lethal finisher in football right now they played defensively. 🙄

You know what, I realise now that I've seen that Dieng play live for Marseille and he was so wasteful (but does get into good positions). I can't believe that was the same player last night.
