Pierre Ménès criticizes Rudi Garcia's comments on Senegal's World Cup performance

The Belgian coach had commented on Senegal's management of the end of the match, suggesting they made a "serious error" by trying to protect their 2-0 lead. French consultant Pierre Ménès reacted to these remarks on social media. While expressing his appreciation for Garcia, Ménès deemed the Belgian coach's comments "inappropriate" and "as misplaced as it is stupid."

Ménès believes Belgium's qualification, achieved after overcoming a two-goal deficit and a penalty in extra time, does not justify such criticism of the Senegalese team. He concluded that Garcia "would have done better to light a candle at church for the Belgian miracle," referencing the match scenario where Belgium overturned a 2-0 deficit against Senegal.
