World Cup 2022: Didier Drogba saddened by the absence of the Ivory Coast

Serge Aurier, Nicolas Pépé, or Frank Kessié will watch the World Cup on television. The Elephants didn’t make it for the second time in a row. A counterperformance that makes Didier Drogba, an Ivorian legend, regret it.

For the second consecutive year, the Ivory Coast will not compete in the World Cup. A circumstance that makes Didier Drogba heartbroken.

“All Ivorians are deeply saddened by the Ivory Coast’s absence from the World Cup because they were accustomed to competing there three years in a row. And following 2018, this is the second absence.

These are indications that Côte d’Ivoire needs to put in a lot of effort before climbing back to the top of the soccer world “in an interview with the New Ivorian Channel NCI, the former captain of the Elephants.

The Elephants were unable to even make the playoffs. In Group D, they came in second place to Cameroon.

The NCI consultant for the World Cup 2022 claims that the Ivorian team was not up to the task. “We lack a lot of stuff. It is missing a team that must have faith in it.

A little consistency in performance and consistency is also lacking from what we have witnessed in recent years. The public should be excited about this kind of performance, and we are anticipating it.

Didier Drogba concluded, “I think we were at the doors of this World Cup. Experience and unity are not useless terms because once you reach a certain level, you must exhibit maturity and the capacity to make sensible decisions.

To make wise decisions, you need to be well-supervised and surround yourself with people who have already played such crucial games. And in the second leg of the qualifiers, we were lacking in that.
