After the defeat of the Ivory Coast against Nigeria on behalf of this 2nd day of Group A, Guy Demel spoke about this poor performance of the Jean-Louis Gasset men which puts them in a bad position.

“People will say that I am hard on the selection when it is the opposite, I love them and I say it. We have seen it several times in recent months even if Ivory Coast was automatically declared that the matches were insufficient. It’s difficult to arrive in this competition and suddenly find this bond, this relationship, this connection. We saw very slow transmissions, very slow defensive withdrawals. And very few ideas offensively.

 The list is long. All of this has been identified. Just analyze Ivory Coast’s matches all year round. This is simply a pale copy of what the selection did throughout Gasset’s mandate. I’m not against him. It’s just an analysis of the game proposed by the Elephants”  underlines the Ivorian consultant on Canal +.
