Senegalese star Paté Cisse, a player for the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, commented with great joy and optimism on the recent decision issued by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to withdraw the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title from his country’s national team and give it to the Moroccan national team.
In the context of his speech in the area designated for the media after his team’s match against Samsunspor, “Ces” confirmed that his dominant feeling is “happiness, not anger,” and he confidently expressed this by saying: “I am more happy than angry… How can I be angry when I carry my medal here? No one will take it from me.”
The Senegalese player did not hesitate to flirt with his teammate, the Moroccan star Elias Akhoumache, as he declared with a big laugh: “I was going to bring the medal to present it to Elias, but he did not want it,” amid an atmosphere of humor and humor that he shared with his teammate, “Noble Mendy,” in front of the cameras, which added a touch of fun to this legal case that sparked widespread controversy in African sports circles.
