the Teranga Lions take to the track, follow the CAN group B meeting

It is with a feeling of revenge that the Senegalese begin this CAN against Zimbabwe, Monday January 10, at 2 p.m. Two and a half years after their final lost against Algeria (0-1), Aliou Cissé’s players are once again aiming for final victory. Which would be quite simply historic: often placed, Senegal has never lifted the trophy. For this edition, the Teranga Lions have a very substantial set of gear, with, among others, Edouard Mendy (Chelsea), Kalidou Koulibaly (Naples), Idrissa Gueye (PSG) and, of course, the star Sadio Mané (Liverpool ).

It is an understatement to say that they are largely favorites of this meeting against Zimbabwe. The Warriors, little known in Europe, mainly rely on elements that play in South Africa. They still have knowledge of the French championship, in the person of Tino Kadewere (Lyon). Even if they have never passed the hens of a CAN, the Zimbabweans eliminated Zambia (victorious in 2012) in qualifying. The Senegalese would be wrong to take their opponent lightly for this match in Bafoussam.
