Former Ivory Coast captain and football legend Didier Drogba has shown his optimism for the upcoming match between the Elephants and Equatorial Guinea scheduled for Monday, January 22, 2024. Through his profile on social media, he has encouraged his followers by predicting a victory for his former team.
Tensions are rising for the Ivorian team in the African Cup of Nations, especially following their 0-1 loss to Nigeria. While fans have been pouring over stats and potential scenarios for a round of 16 qualifications, the mission for the team led by Jean-Louis Gasset is clear: to claim victory against Equatorial Guinea.
Didier Drogba remains confident and supportive of the Elephants, as evident in his message on social media. The former Ivorian number 11 inspired confidence and reassured that victory is within reach for the Elephants.
“You love it. You have always understood us, but also understand that we’ve always done our best to make our country proud. On Monday, we’re going for it again. It’s going to be heated but we will WIN. When it gets hot, we stand together; when we win, we are together for life, so let’s grab our hearts,” Drogba replied to a user who teased him online.
Ivory Coast, as the host of the competition, is determined to make progress in the tournament. It’s noteworthy that the team, boasting players like Jean-Philippe Krasso and Séko Fofana, kicked off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a high note by defeating Guinea-Bissau. They currently stand third in their group, Group A.
