Senegal’s commanding victory against Gambia has not only set the tone for their campaign but also garnered praise from one of the nation’s football legends.
El Hadji Diouf, renowned for his exploits on the pitch, has lauded the brilliance of Senegal’s coach, Aliou Cissé, following the team’s impeccable start in the tournament.
Senegal’s Lions of Teranga roared onto the field last Monday with an inspiring performance that left spectators in awe. The scoreboard echoed their dominance, registering a resounding 3-0 triumph over Gambia, marking a formidable initiation into CAN 2023.
El Hadji Diouf, who has been closely following the tournament, recently shared his insightful analysis of Senegal’s first match.
“I think it’s the best match I’ve seen during the Aliou Cissé era. We had very good matches with Aliou, but I think this match is the most complete, both in concentration and determination. And there were no technical flaws,” he said.
“We have a team of young people who love each other, who want to be with each other and who work for the good of their country and for that of their coach. Between the players, Aliou Cissé and the technical staff or the Federation, it’s a love story,” he added
