“We are feeling calm and confident. We know that Senegal can beat England, that is what we are aiming for. I think we will get more excited as the match gets closer but you have to remain calm and focused on the objective – and our objective is obviously to get to the next round. "“Four years ago we went through that experience but the team has grown, we lost and won an [AFCON] final and the team is developing and becoming more mature. That maturity is very important at international level, African teams need to be ambitious and they are good enough to go head-to-head, eye-to-eye with anybody and we are capable of beating anyone. "“When we go out on the pitch we have to be aware of that. The more you play in top clubs around the world, the more you will mature and become top-notch players and that is what we are seeing now.
