When the top two teams in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Group C go head-to-head on Thursday, much of the attention will zero in on the matchup of individual players. Sadio Mané of Liverpool and Riyad Mahrez of Manchester City — who battled it out for the English Premier League title for months in the recently completed 2018-2019 season — will compete for supremacy one more time, this time representing their countries Senegal and Algeria respectively. But as AS.com reported, coaches of the two national teams are not seeing the matchup as a battle of superstars, but simply as a chance for a win against a close rival, in the match that will live stream from Cairo.

Even without Mané, Senegal overpowered Tanzania in their opening AFCON match. The Lions of Teranga have now won seven matches in a row, allowing only one goal over that span, as Soccerway stats record. But the Liverpool star is now back from a suspension and is expected to cause problems for the Algerian side, which ranks 68th in the world, compared to a lofty 22nd for Senegal.
“Mane is going to arrive fresh, it’s going to be cool, but…his team won without him,” said Algeria Coach Djamel Belmadi, as quoted by BeIn Sports .
“Focusing only on individuals is not the best way to prepare a match.”
