Eliminated in the last 8 of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, Senegal, the 2021 African champions, began their mission to win back the trophy with two friendly matches in March. The Lions dominated Gabon (3-0) and Benin (1-0). Aliou Cissé is delighted with the 10-day training camp in Amiens, France. "It's never easy having 31 players, but the state of mind was good. We worked hard in training. Overall, it's not bad. Winning games is always good for morale. It's a good thing in view of what's in store for us in June," the Senegalese coach told Dsports TV.
Cissé, who called on a number of new players during the break, is satisfied with their performances. "There are players who have scored points, which adds more competition, quality and quantity to our team. This will enable us to draw from our reservoir in the event of injuries. I got what I wanted in those two games. It was important to give everyone some game time, and to see some new players.
