Meta description: Patrick Vieira has strongly reframed a journalist after Senegal-Comores, refusing the term "has-been" used for Gana Gueye and Kalidou Kolibaly.

Patrick Vieira did not like the question. After Senegal's victory against the Comoros (1-0), the Lions de la Teranga's selection starred a journalist who came to discuss the "has-been" status of two executives on his team.

The exchange was produced at a press conference after the meeting at the Vélodrome stadium. The journalist mentioned Idrisssa Gana Gueye and Kalidou Koulibaly, two experienced players who had played the entire game.

Vieira immediately interrupted her interlocutor. For him, taking up this qualifier is a lack of respect for two players who continue to play an important role with Senegal.

Vieira defends Gana Gueye and Koulibaly

" It is a lack of respect," the French breeder launched. He then recalled that the two players "have scored and continue to mark Senegal's history".

Vieira also asked journalists not to automatically use the terms used outside. According to him, both executives remain exemplary players, on and off the field.

The technician mainly retained their performance against the Comoros. Gana Gueye and Koulibaly demonstrated their experience and individual quality in serving the collective. A performance that could complicate the selection of the breeder for future deadlines.

" They are still in the competition »

After leaving Gana Gueye and Koulibaly on the bench during the first two meetings of this gathering, Vieira offered them a tenure against the Comoros. Both men responded present.

The breeder now believes that their performance makes competition even stronger. He assures that they always want to represent Senegal and still have qualities to bring to the team.

For Vieira, therefore, the debate on their sporting future is far from closed. And he made it clear to the journalists.
