I will never play for you again — Senegal star tells coach after World Cup collapse

The 27-year-old made the explosive statement on social media shortly after Senegal’s heartbreaking Round of 32 exit to Belgium.

The Lions of Teranga suffered a dramatic 3-2 defeat after extra time in a game that should have been wrapped up in normal time, thanks to taking a two-goal lead.

Gueye, who had been one of Senegal’s key performers during the tournament, did not hold back in his criticism.

In an Instagram story post, he wrote:“I’ll be back to give you a few words regarding elimination… but I announce today that as long as it’s this technical staff, I’ll take a break from the selection.”

The dramatic collapse came after Senegal appeared to be cruising into the quarter-finals.

Goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr had put them in control, but the game turned following Gueye’s substitution in the 64th minute.

Belgium mounted a stunning comeback, with Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans scoring late to force extra time.

Tielemans then converted a VAR-awarded penalty in the 125th minute to complete the turnaround and eliminate Senegal.

The defeat represents a bitter end to a tournament that had raised high hopes for the West African nation.
