Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>A dejected Senegal boss Aliou Cisse says it was \u201ctough to see the players cry\u201d in the locker room after their shock penalty shootout defeat by Cote d\u2019Ivoire in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations last 16.<\/b><\/p>\n

The reigning champions were dumped out 5-4 on penalties by the tournament hosts on Monday following a dramatic 1-1 draw after extra time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am disappointed after this result, especially for our players. We came here to retain the title and play for our people,\u201d rued Cisse.<\/p>\n

The coach said losing in such fashion after dominating the match made the pain worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to see the players cry in the locker room. The match was strange and complicated; we could have won,\u201d Cisse noted.<\/p>\n

Senegal led until the 86th minute when Franck Kessie equalized from the penalty spot. And Cisse felt his side failed to manage the game well enough when it mattered most.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost on penalties; we kept our lead until the last 5 minutes. I am disappointed after this defeat, especially after our performance and from the first match,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

With Senegal\u2019s trophy defense now over, Cisse acknowledged changes are inevitable as the team looks to rebuild.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to make changes after this defeat; we\u2019ll see what happens in the future. There is sorrow, and our players are sad, as is the Senegalese people,\u201d the coach admitted.<\/p>\n

However, Cisse took pride in Senegal\u2019s undefeated group stage campaign. \u201cWe prepared well and let\u2019s not forget we have 3 wins in 3 matches,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

After falling short of retaining their title in dramatic fashion, Cisse knows Senegal must pick themselves up and work to bounce back stronger.<\/p>\n
