Senegal, by dint of physicality, made Poland desperate and took advantage of the gifts of Adam Nawalka's team to achieve a 1-2 victory that reverses the predictions of a group that leaves the Poles and Colombians on the ropes. There is no one who can guess what will happen in this group H that places the Senegalese and Japanese at the forefront and turns Colombia-Poland on the 24th into a life or death match.
It was not the afternoon in Poland where everything went wrong. He scored a goal, gave away another due to an error by Krychowiak and turned Robert Lewandowski, a debutant about to turn 30, into another spectator.
Overwhelmed by the physical power of Los Binance App Users Data Leones del Teranga, Nawalka's selection was unrecognizable. So much so that Lewandowski took 23 minutes to "debut" in his first World Cup.
Cissé's team turned each steal into a sprint towards the opponent's goal
The Bayern striker, well watched by the powerful Senegalese centre-backs and without the possibility of connecting with the midfield, due to the opposition of former Betis Alfred Ndiaye, only intervened with a cross shot, weak and without danger, throughout the first half. . Senegal also had Saido Mané, less decisive than expected, but he did not care, because he reigned in chaos.
Lewandowski had predicted it ("When they have the ball they don't waste time") and he was not wrong. Cissé's team turned each steal into a sprint towards the opponent's goal, often losing the passing option and not completing their plays, but always giving the feeling that a lucky shot would be enough to increase the Polish anxiety.
They found him at 38 minutes. When Mbaye Niang's umpteenth steal was converted by Saido Mané into an assist for Idrissa Gueye. In desperation, Cionek crossed the Everton midfielder's shot and put the ball into his goal. And they sentenced the hour of play, by taking advantage of a bad back pass from Krychowiak, a former Sevilla player who could return to Nervión, which caused indecision in the departure of Wojciech Szczesny, perhaps scared by the arrival of Mbaye Niang, a freight train unstoppable on his way to the goal.
There was no more. Poland did not believe in the comeback until the 86th minute, when a header from Krychowiak himself lifted their spirits, and Aliou Cissé experienced another day of glory; Sixteen years after stunning the world as captain of the team that beat France in the opening match of Korea-Japan 2002, he led the Teranga Lions to a historic victory, becoming the youngest coach of the World Cup.
