“I am from a country where we do not like to lose,” Cisse told reporters on Monday. “We are always hungry for that win. Not going through to the last 16 will be hard to digest.
“We’re fine, we’re dealing with the pressure and the stress. For me, it’s good stress.”
Sis’s team lost 2–0 to the Dutch but kept their promotion hopes alive by beating Qatar 3–1.
“We understand that victory will allow us to continue the adventure and that is exactly what we intend to do,” Cisse said. “We know that in 2018 we were looking for a draw when maybe the points would play in our favor but that will not be the case tomorrow.
