Senegalese head coach Aliou Cisse said that the west African team will treat the next game as the final further admitting that the perspectives have changed in the competition.
“We don’t lack ambition nowadays, and I can say with the experience as a former player and now coach that allows me to say there no small teams, there are allegedly favorites that seems are part of and they are what you call small teams that work every day and are coherent and have been playing for a whole year together. The gap between top and low if you want it no longer what it used to be,” said Aliou Cisse, Senegal Coach.
Meanwhile, Guinea and Zimbabwe prepared for their last Group B clash on Tuesday.
