IsmaĂŻla Sarr s’impose avec puissance face Ă  son dĂ©fenseur, rĂ©siste au tacle et conclut de prĂšs du plat du pied pour tromper Pedro Gallese. 2-0 pour les Lions, qui prennent le large dans cette rencontre.

Mory Diaw : « Je fais en sorte d’aider l’équipe quand Édou n’est pas lĂ  (
) Je pense qu’il y’a 0% de chance qu’on nous retire le titre »

Titulaire Ă  la place d’Edouard Mendy, Mory Diaw rĂ©alisĂ© une trĂšs belle performance ce samedi face au PĂ©rou. Le portier du Havre est revenu sur sa prestation individuelle, celle de l’équipe mais Ă©galement le scandale de l’attribution du titre de champion d’Afrique au Maroc.

La bataille juridique qui se poursuit devant le TAS n’a pas encore son verdict. Les sĂ©nĂ©galais restent ainsi toujours sous le choc aprĂšs que le Jury d’appel de la CAF ait dĂ©cidĂ© de sacrer le Maroc sur tapis vert devant le SĂ©nĂ©gal. En zone mixte aprĂšs le match amical entre le SĂ©nĂ©gal et le PĂ©rou, Mory Diaw est revenu sur le moment oĂč il a entendu la nouvelle.

« J’étais en train de suivre le match du PSG et il y’a un pote qui m’appelle (
) Maintenant je pense qu’il y’a 0% de chance qu’on nous retire le titre. On a une totale confiance au comitĂ© exĂ©cutif et Ă  la FSF. Il y’a du chambrage mais nous on est assez calme. Personnellement je profite pleinement et ce n’est pas encore fini car lĂ  on retourne Ă  Dakar » a-t-il dit.

Le portier Havrais de revenir sur son match correct rĂ©alisĂ© sans encaisser de buts avec notamment deux arrĂȘts dĂ©cisifs. « Je fais en sorte d’aider l’équipe quand Edou (Edouard Mendy) n’est pas lĂ . Je me sens bien et je suis assez tranquille » a-t-il confiĂ© avant d’ajouter que le SĂ©nĂ©gal jouera le Mondial pour tenter de le gagner.

Eumeu SĂšne: "In sports, age doesn't matter to me, I consider myself a 22-year-old wrestler (...) I still have the goal of becoming King of the Arenas again, you never know..."

Less than a month before his fight against Ada Fass, Eumeu SĂšne spoke about his preparation for this unprecedented confrontation against a young wrestler, as well as his ultimate ambition in the arena.

So far, Eumeu SÚne has a 50% record in his matches against younger wrestlers. After defeating Sa Thiés, the Tay Shinger lost to Eumeu SÚne in August 2025. For his third encounter against a wrestler from the new generation, Eumeu SÚne wants to achieve a positive result to show that he still has what it takes despite his age.

“It’s just another fight. I’ve prepared well and I feel I have the physical strength to continue. I consider myself a young wrestler of 22. In a career, there comes a time when you only face younger opponents, and that’s the natural course of things. I’m not underestimating my opponent because it’s still Lamb Wrestling. That’s why I’m doing everything I can to win,” he declared on Lutte TV.

At the twilight of his career, having benefited from a three-year extension beyond the retirement age, the former King of the Arena affirms that he still has his sights set on the royal crown. He wants to end his exceptional career on a high note, a career marked by stunning victories against Balla Gaye, Bombardier, and Lac de Guiers 2.

“My goal is still to become King of the Arena again. You never know! I beat Sa ThiĂ©s, who is now challenging Modou LĂŽ for the title.” If I have the chance to fight another royal battle, I'm sure I'll become King of the Arena again (
) It's also true that Modou LĂŽ declared he wouldn't fight me anymore, but I repeat, you never know what might happen.”

Transfer news: Liverpool have targeted Iliman Ndiaye to replace Mohamed Salah

With Mohamed Salah announcing his departure at the end of the season, Liverpool have reportedly already shortlisted several names to replace the Egyptian. Iliman Ndiaye is said to be at the top of the list.

This time, it's official. After his little drama a little over a year ago, in January 2025, when he seemed to announce his departure but ultimately stayed and even extended his contract until June 2027, in April 2025, Mohamed Salah (33 years old) will officially leave Liverpool. In a message posted on his social media accounts last Tuesday, the Egyptian striker confirmed his departure from the Reds at the end of the season, thus ending nine years of loyal service to Liverpool.

For the Merseyside club, the objective will now be to find an ideal replacement for one of the best players in its history. According to information from Great Britain, notably from TeamTalk, the Liverpool management has already shortlisted several strikers. Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig), Francisco Conceicao (Juventus), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich), and Paris Saint-Germain players Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué are all reportedly of interest to the Reds.

Liverpool are keen on Iliman Ndiaye

But it is at their eternal rivals, Everton, that Arne Slot's team could find what they're looking for. According to the same source, Liverpool have placed Iliman Ndiaye at the top of their list to strengthen their squad during the next transfer window. Having arrived from Marseille in the summer of 2024, the 26-year-old Senegalese international has established himself as one of the best players in his position in the Premier League. With 6 goals and 3 assists in the league this season, the 2025 African champion is shining in a Toffees shirt.

Often deployed as a right winger by David Moyes, Iliman Ndiaye is equally capable of playing anywhere across the front line. He's an ideal profile to replace the iconic Mohamed Salah. But it would clearly be very difficult for Liverpool to lure him away from Everton. It's hard to imagine the Toffees letting their best player go to their arch-rivals, especially if the Hill Dickinson Stadium side secures European qualification. Furthermore, Manchester United are also reportedly interested.

INDEPENDENCE 2026: WALLY SECK PROMISES A "TERA-CONCERT" IN THIÈS FOR THE CLOSING DAY

ThiĂšs is preparing for an exceptional night. Alongside the festivities marking Senegal's independence, the railway capital will host a grand closing concert on April 5, 2026, headlined by Wally Seck. The announcement was made this Thursday at a joint press conference held on the esplanade of the town hall, in the presence of municipal authorities and several prominent figures from the local arts scene.

In an already electric atmosphere, the artist set the tone by promising a large-scale show, which he bluntly described as a "tera-concert." True to his flair for showmanship and his connection with the audience, he assured everyone that ThiĂšs "will vibrate" to the rhythm of this grand musical event. On a lighter note, he even revealed his intention to spend the night there, humorously mentioning a meal he had already ordered to extend the celebration.

Alongside the headliner, the program features a strong local flavor. Speaking on behalf of ThiÚs artists, Ma Sané praised an initiative that showcases regional talent and strengthens the event's cultural roots.

The musical lineup is decidedly diverse. Featuring pop, rap, reggae, slam poetry, and dance, the concert aims to bring together all audiences. Several Senegalese pop artists are scheduled to perform, alongside rising rap stars like Fire & Wizzy, Ben Lil, and Lilka Boy. Reggae will also be showcased with Mistik, Voices, and Buur Sine, while slam poetry will be presented by Arona Jumeaux and Hadja "La Voix du CƓur" (The Voice of the Heart). The choreographic dimension will also be featured, with performances by the Urban Art company and the X Dance Crew.

Beyond the concert, the mayor of ThiĂšs, Babacar Diop, outlined a broader cultural program, structured around activities planned before, during, and after the Independence Day parade. A strategy aimed at establishing ThiĂšs as a lasting cultural hub, capitalizing on the involvement of artists from diverse backgrounds.

With this ambitious and inclusive program, the city intends to make a lasting impression and offer a festive finale worthy of the national event. The date is now set for the night of April 5th, which promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 cultural calendar.
