In an interview with AFP, the Tunisian striker of Saint-Etienne says he wants to lift the 2021 African Cup of Nations trophy with the Carthage Eagles.
Tunisia often competes at the deeper stages at the AFCON but what is the ambition this year?
“We want to win it,” Wahbi Khazri told the AFP.
“During the last edition we were semi-finalists, beaten by Senegal. I felt we were superior and we deserved to win. It would be good now to qualify for the final but it will not be easy because there are some great teams in Africa, where the level is more and more high ”. he added.
The Tunisian striker of Saint-Etienne knows that in order to reach their goal, they will have to get through the group stage first. And as much to say, the mission promises to be difficult.
“We face Mali and Mauritania quite often. We played Mali in the last CAN, a very good team with many talented players playing in Europe. We faced Mauritania in the World Cup qualifiers. We had been hooked up to her. I don’t know The Gambia at all. At CAN, no match can be taken lightly, ”he admitted.
