According to the information on Naija Footballer, Cisse is optimistic that Senegal can stun the world by winning the prestigious title.

Statement made by Aliou Cisse

''Yes, an African team can win the World Cup and I hope that will be Senegal.

''All the teams that are competing at the World Cup are worthy of being here. It is not like 30 or 35 years ago where the big fishes were completely eating the smaller teams alive.''

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how football fans online were quick to draw comparisons between Senegal Head Coach Aliou Cisse, and popular rapper Snoop Dogg.

Both are stars in their own right and rock dreadlocks as one of their distinctive features.

Cisse is currently in Qatar, where he will be hoping to guide the Lions of Teranga past the group stage without star forward Sadio Mane.

Cisse was on the touchline against the Netherlands on November 21.

The Gin and Juice hitmaker reacted with a subtle football emoji, as if to agree that he indeed bears some resemblance to the Senegal hero.

Snoop Dogg's 'doppelganger' is a revered man in Africa and in his home country, having captained the Senegalese side of 2022 to the World Cup quarter-finals.
