This Sunday, while the world looked with some astonishment at the lack of quality, capacity and preparation of the Qatari host team, the Netherlands took out the calculator, looked at Group A of the World Cup and came to a conclusion: the Qataris enter the accounts, Ecuador does not seem to be a serious threat either and Senegal remains as the main rival in the fight for the round of 16.
The meeting on Monday, therefore, became vital. As well as being important to start the World Cup with a win, it was also crucial to put on a show of strength against the defending African champions and make it clear that Group A of the World Cup will not have a great story. On the other hand, however, the logic was the opposite: Senegal, orphan of Sadio Mané, who was called up but even abandoned the concentration due to injury, wanted to show that he has the goal of fighting for the leadership of the group and that the Bayern Munich striker is not the only individual in the team.
