The Senegal coach admits Desiree Ellis' charges are the favourites, but says his player must have the confidence in order to upset the apple cart.
“South Africa are the favourites, they are the better team, and we are the challengers. A win will be good for Senegal because it will be the first time we win this round, but we will need confidence, not give in to pressure and show Senegalese football in this competition," Cisse said, as per Pan Africa Football.
"We are also happy to be playing against top teams on the continent like Morocco, Zambia and now South Africa.
“We had a difficult path with a lot of obstacles, but our first objective was to qualify, and we managed to do that.
"Our matches against Morocco and Zambia made us look at things differently and we have corrected our mistakes. Anything is possible when we face South Africa, but we will do our best.”
