Cisse was captain of the team that reached the 2002 final, losing to Cameroon on penalties, and is now coaching a solid team consisting of Liverpool star Sadio Mane and defender Napoli. Kalidou Koulibaly.
"It's true that Cameroon is not here, the big favorites are no longer here today. Of course, that gives us ideas and gives us even more confidence to say yes, maybe this year will be this one, "said Cissé on Tuesday.
"But as I said, it's hope and it will not be enough. We will have to work very hard, we will have to be serious and that's what we do. "
Cisse was quick to issue reservations, warning however that Senegal would pay the price not to go further than Wednesday's quarter-final with Benin in Cairo.
The team of Michel Dussuyer has made remarkable progress for the first time in Egypt, despite the fact that it does not win a single match.

But this tournament is more shock waves than the stars.
