El Hadji Malick Diouf, author of four selections with the Lions, spoke in an interview with Wiwsport. The Slavia Prague player spoke about the competition within the national team, which he considers healthy and motivating.
After benefiting from his first minutes with the Senegal national team during the match against Burundi (0-1), El Hadji Malick Diouf was able to take advantage of Ismail Jakobs’ injury to stand out and leave a good impression. Since then, he has played a string of complete matches and played a key role in the team’s recent success in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations (CAN 2025).
Diouf expressed in his interview that internal competition is a real strength for the team. He sees it as a source of motivation that pushes each player to surpass themselves. With humility, he declared: “ Competition is a good thing. It pushes you to stay focused. Ismail is an excellent player, and we respect each other a lot. What matters is that the team wins, no matter who is playing. We are here for Senegal, not for our ego. »
