The Young Lions of Teranga face the Serengeti Boys on Tuesday after edging hosts Morocco on penalties, while Tanzania stunned Egypt to reach their first-ever continental youth final.
Aidara stressed that reaching the final is not the end goal, insisting his team must now deliver under pressure to win the trophy.
"We must savor this moment, but remain humble. The real story is written in the final, not before. We must stay focused and wait until we win the cup to celebrate and erupt in jubilation."
“It is a message that reflects the calm and controlled mood inside the Senegal camp ahead of one of the biggest matches of the players’ young careers.
"I see it as an inspiring legacy; recent successes show the way.
"But each generation must write its own story without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to deliver results."
