Afcon 2019: Tunisia not over Senegal defeat - Giresse

The tactician is still reeling from Carthage Eagles�?? semi-final defeat to Aliou Cisse�??s men

Dylan Bronn�??s own goal into extra time shattered the North Africans�?? ambition of reaching the final after Ferjani Sassi wasted a penalty to defeat Senegal.

Giresse�??s men face Nigeria in Wednesday�??s third-place encounter.

�??Our target was more than just reaching the semi-final. But now we focus on the game against Nigeria and hope to win third place,�?� Giresse told the media during Tuesday�??s pre-match conference.

�??I believe this is going to be a psychologically tough encounter because we are not over that defeat from Senegal yet.

�??I cannot say all our players are fit after playing two extra-times but we will do our best.

�??This is football and we understand the whole team disappointment. But we have to forget that and focus on the Nigeria game.�?�

Tunisia have won only one of their three third-place games in Afcon history. That triumph was a 3-0 win over Uganda in 1962.
