If you look at where we came from, I took a team that faced difficulties. They have played some fine attacking football in Egypt and such a grim final does not erase any of that. We prepared and wanted to play against this talented team, Senegal. Sarr, their best attacker on the day, made excellent ground down the right before seeing his cross hit Guedioura inside the area. Mbaye Niang, from a tight angle after rounding Rais Mbolhi, and Sarr did spurn opportunities to make Algeria regret stalling to such an extreme degree.
