Unique record, the only National team without local players in the World Cup

While Qatar's natives and Saudi Arabia are the only two national teams at the World Cup starting on Sunday, November 20, that feature only players from their domestic championships, there is also a squad that does not have any footballers currently playing in the national championship.

Senegal arrive in Qatar as the reigning African champions, while coach Aliou Cisse has assembled players who all play abroad. Compared to the African Cup, the coach, who a few days ago renewed his contract, left home the only player who plays in Senegal: the 22-year-old goalkeeper of Casa Sports, Alioune Badara Faty.

Niveli i kampionatit vendas në shtetin e Afrikës Perëndimore është i dobët, teksa talentet emigrojnë menjëherë sapo pikasen nga skautët e ndonjë klubi europian. “Luanët e Terangës” janë pjesë e grupit A në Kupën e Botës bashkë me Katarin, Holandën dhe Ekuadorin. Sfidën e parë do e zhvillojnë ndaj Holandës së Van Gaal (21 nëntor).

Në një rrëfim për New York Times, trajneri Cisse, i cili si futbollist veshi 33 fanellën e Kombëtares dhe që ka vendosur një rregull që në grumbullimet e Senegalit të gjithë lojtarët e ftuar të paraqiten në të njëjtën ditë në vendlindje, deklaroi:

"When my boys leave Europe and come back to play with us, they need some time to adapt and change their mentality. It's a party atmosphere for them, so we have to tell them: 'Hey, yes, life is sweet in Senegal, there's sea and sun, but you're not on holiday'.

We have to work hard to make the fans happy", declared the 46-year-old, who has lost the services of star, captain and goal scorer Sadio Mane in the World Cup, after the Bayern Munich player failed to recover from the injury suffered in the match the last against Werder Bremen.
