Idrissa Gueye, Pape Matar Sarr, Ismaïla Sarr, Nicolas Jackson… Our Team Of The Weekarranged in 4-3-3, gives pride of place to our Senegalese representatives in the Premier League. But others have also shone in French Ligue 2 and elsewhere.
DEMBA THIAM heroic
With a Juve Stabia team reduced to ten from the 15th minute, the 26-year-old Senegalese goalkeeper had a very good match to allow his team to grab a point against Brescia in Serie B this Saturday (0-0). From the outset, Thiam showed himself to be authoritarian in his area with a superb intervention against Gennaro Borrelli. Vigilant on aerial balls and in his exits, the former SPAL goalkeeper pulled out all the stops after returning from the locker room. His sixth clean sheet in 14 games allows Juve Stabia to collect a precious point and occupy a good eighth place.
MAMADOU DIARRA constant
Regular with Grenoble Foot 63 this season, the 26-year-old defender once again proved his importance for GF63 during the draw against ESTAC Troyes in Ligue 2 on Friday (0-0). Captain of his team in this meeting, former ASC player Jaraaf played his role perfectly. He was, by far, the player who touched the most balls (128) and was impeccable with his transmissions. Hyper solid in the duels, Diarra did not hide, even if Grenoble continues another poor performance and remains 10th in Ligue 2.
SADIBOU SANE solid
Indisputable holder in the central hinge of FC Metz since the start of the season in Ligue 2, the 20-year-old defender has had a string of promising performances, like Friday against Clermont (1-1). He shows maturity and solidity on several interventions and is also impeccable in restarts with the current third in Ligue 2.
FALLOU FALL imperial
Like his team Fredrikstad, winner 1-0 of Hamarkameratene, Saturday, on the occasion of the 29th and penultimate day of the Eliteserien (Norwegian D1), the 20-year-old left-handed defender achieved his last of the season at home . Impressive in recent matches, the player on loan from Stade de Reims excelled in duels, his interventions against opposing attackers and also in his ball exits. A loan in Norway has so far been successful for Fall who will try to win the Norwegian Cup against Molde on December 7.
MOUSSA NDIAYE impressive
The Anderlecht left-back confirmed his good form and put out an XXL performance during the Mauves’ flamboyant victory against La Gantoise this Sunday in the Jupiler Pro League (6-0). Unbeatable in duels, impressively successful in dribbling and very authoritative in his interventions, the former Barça Atlètic player had great activity in his lane and proposed solutions to create gaps thanks to his climbs but also to serve . The arrival of David Hubert has given him a lot of confidence and this is reflected on the pitch.
IDRISSA GUEYE tireless
Returning to Everton after shining with the National Team during the international break, the 35-year-old midfielder delivered a quality performance against Brentford in the Premier League this Saturday (0-0). Very present in the construction and recovery, he initiated several good situations for the Toffees. Solid in duels, he also did not hesitate to try his luck on strikes, even if he did a little too much.
PAPE DEMBA DIOP precious
The former resident of Diambars once again presented a very good performance with Zulte Waregem, during the big victory against RFC Seraing (5-1) in the Challenger Pro League this Sunday. The 21-year-old midfielder showed his partners the way by opening the scoring at the end of the first period. Still very valuable in the recovery and very inspired on his passes, he provided a superb assist to Jeppe Erenbjerg on Essevee’s fifth goal. Three goals and three assists in 11 games, not bad at all for Pape Demba Diop who sees his team take first place in the Belgian D2.
PAPE MATAR SARR providential
Another very positive performance against Manchester City for the Tottenham midfielder. Like most of his teammates, who stormed the Etihad Stadium this Saturday in the Premier League (0-4 victory), the 22-year-old had a superb match, including a very good first half. where he won all his duels (4). In the second half, he put a lot of effort into recovery and withdrawals. A quality match to further confirm his excellent potential.
ISMAÏLA SARR found
Finally an excellent performance from the Senegalese winger from Crystal Palace. Starting for the fourth time in a row in the Premier League, the former Watford and Stade Rennais player was exemplary, particularly in the first half, against Aston Villa this Saturday (2-2). Sharp in his calls, well inspired in his races and above all clinical in front of goal, he opened the scoring at Villa Park in the 4th minute on a serve from Mateta, synonymous with his first goal with Palace. Then, he constantly put the Villans defense in difficulty. He delivers an assist to Justin Devenny on the 1-2 for the Eagles (45th+1). A benchmark match for Izo who could have been the hero of Crystal Palace if he had been much more diligent in his recovery in the 78th. What to finally launch your season?
NICOLAS JACKSON flourishes
Building on his good start to the club season, the Chelsea striker was again interesting this Saturday against Leicester City (1-2 victory). The 23-year-old Senegalese broke the screen with and without the ball and in his duels. With confidence, he literally manhandled Wout Faes and broke Okoli’s back on the Blues’ opener, his seventh goal of the season. In addition to this classy achievement, the former Villarreal player was also very present in Chelsea’s best situations, like his cross for Madueke (44th) and his attempts repelled by the opposing goalkeeper (54th, 75th ). If only we could see the same player much more often with the National Team…
PATHE MBOUP sees double
A superb copy for the left winger of Pau FC during the big victory against Red Star on Friday (4-1)! From the first minutes, the 21-year-old was decisive by opening the scoring with a beautiful sequence on a long ball from Antoine Mille. Determined, he then tried hard (24th, 45th, 51st, 60th, 74th). He was rewarded in the last quarter of an hour by giving the Palois the lead again. A first career double for Mboup, who got the ball rolling at the Nouste Camp. A good omen for Pau FC which occupies 9th place in Ligue 2.
