Meanwhile, Algeria were victorious following 1-0 victory over Cissé’s men in the 32nd edition of the AFCON’S final.
Prior to that, Senegal had also suffered a loss in 2002 AFCON final against Cameroon.
On the other hand, Carlos Queiroz’ team will hope to stretch the number of their AFCON title as a win over Senegal would label them as 8x AFCON title winners.
Cisse was quoted by cafonline: “We prepared well for our final with the players who are determined and confident to put in a good show.”
“We will approach this final with determination against a great Egyptian team. We know our opponent well; they have their own philosophy of play with experienced players on the continental level. We are on the way to our objective of winning the title this Sunday evening.”
He added: “We must focus on the final, play it well and thus succeed in our match. We will have to take advantage of the moment. We lost two finals in the past, but this time, we will approach the match with more determination.”
