The Senegalese national team cannot be underestimated. The Lions of Teranga currently have 17 players coming from the top five European league teams, including Coulibaly and Edouard Mendy.
Unfortunately the core player, Sadio Mane could not strengthen Senegal. The Bayern Munich and Liverpool player withdrew from the Senegal squad due to injury. After Mane resigned, team coach Aliou Cisse said he would not call up any more players, Senegal would only enter the World Cup with 25 men.
The trip to Qatar was quite a relief for Senegal. They beat Bolivia in the previous friendly, drew with Iran, and went to Qatar on an unbeaten run.
On the other hand, the Dutch national team came with the capital of star players who had played at the elite level of Europe. For example, there are Bayern Munich players, De Ligt, Liverpool defender Van Dijk, and Barcelona midfielder Frankie De Jong.
In the squad of the team called Oranje Holland, there are 7 Ajax players who play in the Eredivisie, and 3 more players from PSV Eindhoven. According to the league distribution, there are a total of 12 players in the Dutch League, 4 in the Italian Serie A, 3 in the English Premier League, 2 in the German Bundesliga, 2 in the Spanish La Liga, 2 in the Belgian League and 1 in the Turkish Super League.
In the previous UEFA Nations League event, the Netherlands managed to beat Belgium twice, finished first in the group, and advanced to the semifinals. While in the previous European qualifiers, they beat Turkey and Norway with a record of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss to go straight to the World Cup.
However national team captain Wijnaldum suffered a broken shin and was absent from the squad. The Netherlands missed the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this time around there are quite a number of players in the squad who are participating in the World Cup for the first time.
