For the CAN, we are the title holders.

We will approach the competition with ambition, because we want to make our people happy.

We have seen the joy rediscovered with this Arab Cup.

It's not every day that we go far in CAN, including among young people.

Going to the semi-finals is great ... but it's not a title.

Me, I want titles.

The CAN was more within our reach than the World Cup

: we won it for the first time since 1990. We clearly want to fill this window, to bring back titles 

The pressure from the title holder can only be positive

Do you do everything to reach a certain level or a certain status, and all that to collapse then? No ! Let's take an example: France is world champion in 2018, but she comes out in the second round of the following Euro. It's a bitter failure for them, and it's a lesson to learn: this risk exists and it hangs in everyone's face. Playing against the champion gives an extra soul and that's what makes the beauty of the sport

! Is it better to be the favorite or the team that nobody considers

?

When I arrived, it was the second guess

!

And this, even in things that are not perceptible to the media.

In the instances, no one looked at us. 

When we go to the CAN 2019 draw in Egypt, we were treated like a selection that was worthless.

A year later, we were given the trophy and everything was different, the respect was palpable.

We are aware of this, and we want to stay high, we want to stay strong,

I am hungry for titles, I want that one respects my country.

When we see our flag during the Arab Cup ... it's not stupid and mean nationalism, it's the desire to see us at the top.

This flame animates me

We will play all our group matches thoroughly but if we have to take out the calculator, we will. There is no easy course during the CAN,

. Finishing first or second does not guarantee to have an easier opponent. In this, we are less fortunate than the other countries in the top 5 Africa in the FIFA rankings. What is true is that we could be in difficulty from the 8th finals of CAN. Mali, Nigeria, Tunisia or Egypt, it can look like an African Cup final! Current Mali is in great progress, Egypt has a world-class Mohamed Salah, even if he has more difficulties with his country. Such a player can change the face of a team on his own.
