On November 25 at 21 PM Beijing time, in the second round of Group A of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Qatari team will face the Senegal team, so who will Qatar win against Senegal? The following editor shares the analysis of the results of the World Cup match between Qatar and Senegal.
Qatar World Cup 2022 – Qatar vs Senegal who will win
The “weaker landlords” are hoping for a breakthrough
In the almost 100-year history of the World Cup, Qatar is the only host country that has no finals experience, and it is also the only new team in this World Cup: before that, they had never exited the Asia. Although they have home court advantage, it is extremely difficult for the Qatari team to go further in this World Cup.
However, the Qatari team has a good record in Asia in recent years. In the Asian Cup in early 2019, the Qatari team defeated Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Japan, three of Asia’s top teams, and won the championship with a brilliant performance of 7 game winning streak, scoring 19 goals and conceding 1. Since then they have participated “transcontinentally” in the America’s Cup, the European qualifiers for the World Cup 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 Qatari team is more dependent on players playing in the local league (especially the current Barcelona manager Xavi once coached the club of Al Thaad). Two of the naturalized players, Ali and Afif, are the team’s most important offensive players. In 2019 Asian Cup, Ali scored 9 goals in 7 matches, setting a record for the event. Ali also scored goals in America’s Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Ali, originally from Sudan, revealed in an interview a few days ago that he and more than 10 Qatari teammates are all from Asbel Football Academy, have played together for 11 years, and the tacit understanding is full. In addition, the Spanish coach Sanchez, who coached the Qatar team for 5 years, has also been teaching at the Asbel Football Academy since 2006 and has been mentoring many international players. Sanchez, born in Basara Masia’s youth training camp, has honed a fast and efficient 5-3-2 tactical formation for the Qatari team, is not obsessed with ball possession and requires players to look for breakthroughs on the wing through the defense to create counter-attacks points for the attackers.
The African champion dreams of going back to 2002
The last time I went to Asia to attend the World Cup, I left a lasting impression on Senegalese fans: At the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the Senegalese team defeated 1998 world champion France in the first match and advanced to the quarter-finals. of final. Twenty years later, the World Cup returns to Asia and the “Lions of Telanga” can’t wait to repeat the “feat” of their predecessors.
Bayern forward 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 secured their top positions in the top five teams of European leagues.
In the Africa Cup held in February this year, the Senegalese team went all the way and won the championship. In the world preliminaries, the Senegalese team fought to the last minute against the Egyptian team led by Liverpool star Salah, and in the second round they went through a thrilling penalty shootout at home.
It is worth mentioning that the coach of this Senegalese team, Aliou Cisse, was the main force of 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 match Qatar vs Senegal
This is a contest between the Asian champion and the African champion, and it’s also a battle between the two losers in the first round.
In the opening match 4 days ago, the host team from Qatar was a different team than when they won the Asian Cup three years ago: they trailed 0:2 in the first 30 minutes and finally lost to the not strong Ecuador team. the famous law “the visitor is unbeaten in the first game” in the history of the World Cup. If it weren’t for the opponent’s lack of strength and no intention of expanding the results, this game could be a big score.
Although the Senegalese team lost by the same scoreline, they faced World Cup runners-up Netherlands three times and tried to keep goal in more than 80 minutes. Therefore, there are differences between the bankruptcies themselves. And the Senegalese team is currently ranked 18th in the world, even if core Mane retires due to injury, the strength of the new African champion is expected to be higher than that of the Asian champion ranked 50th in the world.
At the moment, the Qatari team has been labeled the “weakest host”. But ‘weaker’ doesn’t mean ‘worse’: Russia’s squad at the last World Cup and the two World Cup host nations Korea and Japan were all ‘weaker hosts’. However, if the Qatari team loses again this season and is out of the group stage, this “weakest guest” will replace the South African team (the host of the 2010 World Cup) and become the “worst guest” in history of the World Cup.
