Former Premier League midfielder Salif Diao cannot wait for the atmosphere when his beloved Senegal face Brazil at Emirates Stadium this weekend.
Diao was capped 39 times for the Lions of Teranga during his playing days, helping them famously reach the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup.
Now retired, Diao is excited to see his nation take on Brazil in N5 as they start preparations for next summer's World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
He said: "It’s a big game with big players from two big football nations, where there is a big passion for the game, and it’s a match being played in England, the home of football.
