After a successful opening match against Ecuador, Ivory Coast is now set to face Germany in Group E of the ongoing World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Elephants will meet the German team on June 20, 2023, buoyed by their victory against Ecuador on June 15.
Emerse Fae, the Ivorian manager, expressed his team’s determination during a recent press conference. He emphasized that Ivory Coast is not simply participating in the tournament, but is aiming for a deeper run. Fae aims to guide his squad to a win against Germany, thereby securing their place in the next round of competition.
“We didn’t come here to visit the United States and go home. We beat France and we’ve made a good start to this tournament against Ecuador, a very tough side.
Fae acknowledged the challenges ahead, stating that while the upcoming match against Germany will be difficult due to their vast experience, his team is ready to compete aggressively and aims for victory.
