After failing in 2019, Aliou Cissé’s Senegal finally won the first African Cup in its history. A coronation which allows the Lions of Teranga to be on the roof of the continent. Several players celebrated the title and in particular Boubacar Kamara, French international Espoirs, but who can also play for Senegal. In an interview for itv Senegal, the coach returned to the case of the OM player and also that of Sofiane Diop.

“Obviously, with our level, I can understand that others want to join this team. But we must not forget those who are there. The team must not be closed, we must always bring new blood. You don’t have to take for the sake of taking. Kamara, his qualities are no longer to be proven like Diop or Malang Sarr. They are also brought to join this team. I know that the stability of a group is fragile and that players have to be brought into the right state of mind. What makes you win is solidarity and having smart players who are patriotic and who know where they are. They must genuinely engage. Because all African teams have great players now. I insist a lot on the mentality. It’s beyond tactics. You have to know what the people expect of you and be aware of what you represent. And that we were less good on this aspect at times.
