Senegalese Coach Cisse : "I manage Senegal and my player plays for Klopp at Liverpool.. I respect Liverpool not Klopp,, who undermines African football events. He is where he is today because of African Footballers. Without them he was losing every Final. Until Salah, Mane, Matip, Keita came to his rescue to win the first ever major European big final. Today he has guts to call AFCON a small tournament. AFCON has the same number of participant 24,like their Uefa Euro. Who does he think he is?.. AFCON will have the same superStars that are currently helping him to shine at Liverpool. AFCON it's in same quality as Euros. I am glad Mane is still humble despite being under an Arrogant man"
