With the exceptional performances of Mory Diaw with Clermont and those of Edouard Mendy in Saudi Arabia, some Senegalese are asking that the hierarchy of goalkeepers in the Senegal team change. At a press conference following the publication of the list, Aliou Cissé was questioned regarding this hierarchy.
But the national coach defended his goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy. For him, most of the goals he concedes with Al Ahly are not his fault, but the defensive system in general.

“I know Edouard Mendy, I know what he had to prove throughout his career. You have to look at your performances in a self-critical way. But when we concede a goal, we often look at the goalkeeper. But it’s not normal, when we concede, it’s the entire defensive system that we have to point the finger at, it’s a state of mind that we have to change. Sometimes it’s true there are personal errors on his part, but in others, it’s the defensive system”declared Aliou Cissé.
Faced with another question, concerning the permanent position of Edouard Mendy, Cissé made some clarifications. “I have never guaranteed a position to a player on the Senegal team. I am not promising a tenured position to anyone. The message is clear to everyone, even newbies. I tell them that you are coming but you will meet other great players”added Aliou Cissé.
