After the World Cup "Russia 2018", place to the playoffs of the Africa Cup "Cameroon 2019" which begin in September.
Eliminated in the first round of the Russian World Cup, while many saw them cross this cap, the Lions of Senegal will now set their sights on the Can whose playoffs resume next September. On the first day of the playoffs, played in June 2017, Senegal had clearly imposed itself in front of Equatorial Guinea on the undefeated score of three goals to zero, while Madagascar took the best over Sudan (3-1)
The time for the players to rest some of the fatigues of the World Cup and resume in their respective clubs for the European championships, and Aliou Cissé also resume its program of preparation for the games that await it. And about playoffs, Senegal, like all the other countries involved in these playoffs, will play four games between September and November this year. After the repeated failures of the last editions of the Can, the Lions will this time want to qualify and, why not, win the continental trophy, as Aliou Cissé pointed out, the return of the world. "My dream is to win a trophy with this generation. These players have an overwhelming desire to write their own story and I want to stay with them. I really believe in this team, which has more beautiful values. I believe in the future and our ability to win this continental trophy that the Senegalese people have been waiting for forever, "he said back from Russia where the Lions were barely eliminated for problems of yellow cards. In his opinion, the main objective now is to win this trophy leaking Senegal; and after what has been achieved since he was at the head of this team, Aliou Cissé believes that Senegal will have a say in the next Can in Cameroon. In any case, the eyes will now be on this Can, especially since recently, the vice-president of the federation, Saër Seck, challenged by confreres, had made it clear that the wish of Senegal is to win the next Can. "This is the goal we set for Aliou Cissé when he signed. He was first asked to qualify for the 2017 Can and 2018 World Cup and the final victory in Cameroon at the upcoming African Cup of Nations. The first two goals have been reached, now we have the Can 2019 for which we want to win the trophy. "
For the moment, the Lions are preparing to resume the playoffs in a group A where they are favorites in front of Madagascar. Sudan and Equatorial Guinea. With 17th place in the ranking of 32 teams participating in the 2018 World Cup, Senegal is the first African nation of this global tournament; which is not nothing in the current context.
But the young Senegalese technician must strive first to erase the feeling of bitterness that sanctioned his career at the World Cup. A course that was within reach since the Lions had their fate in their hands; but the FIFA regulations have come to question everything by qualifying Japan. A first in the annals of the World Cup that Cheikhou Kouyaté and his comrades will have to remember for the future. Now, it is good to rebound because this course was neither a failure nor a success in the eyes of the coach of Senegal. "We have shown that we can compete with any team, but that is not enough. Matches must be won, that's all, "he said at the end of the World Cup. Starting with this difficult trip to Antananarivo where his team will visit Madagascar for the second day of the playoffs of the 2019 Can. Remember, both had won their first game, but the advantage is in Senegal that had scored three goals without conceding while the Malagasy had scored three while cashing in one.
