Afcon 2019: We must live up to expectations against Mali - Tunisia coach Giresse

Tunisia coach Alain Giresse is motivating his team to rise to the occasion when they take on Mali in their second game at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Friday.

The Carthage Eagles won all their preparatory matches in the build-up to the tournament in Egypt, but in their opening game on Monday they were far from convincing as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Angola.

However, coach Giresse has promised an improved performance for his team's second match.

"We are working to correct the errors and make the necessary adjustments to show the real abilities of the players and to live up to expectations," Giresse told the media in Egypt.
