According to our confrères Beninwebtv, former Ivorian glory Didier Drogba is confident that the Elephants will qualify for the quarter-finals of CAN 2023, when Côte d'Ivoire take on Senegal this Monday, January 29, 2024, in the round of 16.
Having qualified in extremis for the last 16 of the CAN 2023, Côte d'Ivoire take on Senegal this Monday. A new challenge for the Elephants, who must get the better of the Lions of Teranga to reach the quarter-finals. Despite an XXL squad, Serge Aurier's side have lost two consecutive matches, against Nigeria (0-1) and Equatorial Guinea (0-4). All the more reason to fear elimination from this first round of knockout stages.
The former Elephants captain is confident that his compatriots can achieve a feat against the defending champions. "When you still have an opportunity to redeem yourself after what we saw against Equatorial Guinea, you have to seize it," he recalls. The Chelsea legend then turns to the history of the two countries' encounters. "Senegal have never won against Côte d'Ivoire, I repeat, Senegal have never won against Côte d'Ivoire.
Give it your all. We're counting on you," Didier Drogba told CNI. See you this Monday evening at the Charles Konan Banny stadium in Yamoussoukro for the outcome.
