After the slap received by Ivory Coast by Equatorial Guinea (0-4), Monday at the CAN, Didier Drogba let out a rant.

Host country of this 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, Ivory Coast is experiencing a real nightmare. After its inaugural victory against Guinea-Bissau (2-0), the Elephants were beaten by Nigeria (0-1), before being literally humiliated on Monday by Equatorial Guinea (0-4) for their last match of chickens. From then on, Jean-Louis’ men find themselves on the edge of the precipice, they who have no guarantee of securing one of the four places of best third qualifier for the rest of the tournament.

Legend of Ivorian football, Didier Drogba was obviously present at the Ebimpé stadium to witness the rout of the Elephants. And the former OM and Chelsea scorer hopes that the Federation will learn lessons from this emerging fiasco.

“There is a real problem”

“We will have to get back to work, not only asking the right questions, but also making the right decisions, Drogba said at the NCI microphone after the meeting. For football and only football, because today, a nation like Ivory Coast cannot organize such a competition and… Of course, it can come out as early as it came out today, but in this way, there is a real problem. »
