CAN Maroc 2025 : Pape Thiaw ironise sur Hossam Hassan avant la finale
On the eve of the grand final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations between Senegal and Morocco, the coach of the Lions of Teranga, Pape Thiaw, spoke at length in a press conference about this highly anticipated match.
Between sports analysis and pointed barbs, the Senegalese coach did not fail to send a message to Egypt and its coach, Hossam Hassan.
When asked about the tournament favorites, Pape Thiaw first wanted to pay tribute to the host country. "Morocco is the favorite. They are first in Africa in the FIFA rankings and eleventh in the world. We are behind them and we are trying to compete," he acknowledged graciously.
But the Senegalese coach then made a sarcastic remark about Egypt, who had been eliminated earlier in the competition. This comment referred to Hossam Hassan's behavior after a match against Senegal, where he had displayed his team's crest in front of the crowd.
"After all, if we follow the logic, everyone knows that the best team in Africa is Egypt, since their coach spends his time making the number seven with his fingers," said Pape Thiaw, with a mocking smile.
This statement sparked reactions in the conference room and on social media, reigniting the rivalry between the two nations. Nevertheless, the Senegalese coach remains focused on the essential: securing another continental title against a formidable Moroccan opponent, spurred on by their home crowd.
The date is set for this Sunday for a clash of titans between two giants of African football, with the prestigious continental trophy at stake.

- Les defenseurs ne devront faire aucune tacle inutile pour leur accorder des faux penalties.
- Les attaquants devront marquer leurs toutes premieres occasions. Si jamais le Maroc score avant nous, ils vont saboter le reste le match: coups francs sur coups francs, dégager en touche, se coucher sur la pelouse pour casser le rythme, les supporters vont faire du sabotage, etc.
- Le coach devra être sans pitié. Si Jackson rate deux occasions, il faut le foutre dehors. On est en finale, pas en match de poule!
-Sadio Mane doit savoir que ce match est le match de sa vie. S'il remporte la CAN en inscrivant un but et/ou en faisant une des passes decisives, le ballon d'or lui reviendra et il va entrer dans l'histroire.
