World 2022 – Senegal-England: Tony Adams minimizes the lions and takes down Koulibaly

In a few hours (19h GMT), the African champions will challenge England in the round of 16 of the World Cup. If the English finished at the top of Pool A without wavering, Senegal fought hard to snatch second place in the group. For England legend Tony Adams, the Lions of Senegal can in no way slow down the momentum of the Three Lions. “Having studied our opponents(Senegal) , it’s pretty clear that although they are a very talented group of individuals, they are not a team,” the former Arsenal player told CBS.com .

The former Grenada CF coach did not fail to castigate the captain of Senegal. “Senegal is poorly organized defensively, he asserts. Kalidou Koulibaly, although he has talent, he plays for himself. He does not organize the players around him. His relationship with goalkeeper Edouard Mendy seems non-existent.

Tony Adams insists: “As a defender, you have to make the game predictable, you have to be solid and you have to work collectively. You need to make sure there are no holes, communicating with your keeper, your full-backs and your midfield. Koulibaly will be exposed in one against one, without help around him. That’s when players like Marcus Rashford can exploit it.”
