The fate of Ivory Coast advancing in the Afcon 2023 will depend on the results of the remaining group stage matches played today and tomorrow
Yesterday Ivory Coast, who are the hosts of the tournament, conceded a 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea, taking third place in Group A with three points, scoring 2 goals while conceding 5 goals.
Ivory Coast are hoping to survive through the four 'best looser' positions
In the discussions that prevailed in the pages of football stakeholders in the country, it was the poor level shown by their team while questioning some players not to be included in the team's squad
Yanga attacking midfielder Pacome Zouzoua and former Leicester City star Wilfred Zaha are among the most mentioned names
All players were included in the initial squad but were left out of the final 27-man roster
With the level shown by their team, many believe that Pacome, who was the best player in the Ivory Coast league last season, deserved to be in their team, especially from the level he showed in the African Champions League this season
Pacome scored three goals for Yanga in the tournament, two winning the award for the best goal of the week. In the NBC League, Pacome has four goals
Pacome is in Avic Town continuing training with Yanga's squad, fortunate enough to be together and continue to support his national team, he is also cheering for Taifa Stars
