Guinean defensive midfielder Ibrahima Cissé expressed his discontent after not being selected for the upcoming AFCON 2023. The 29-year-old, visibly frustrated, took to social media to vent his feelings, directing harsh words towards the national team coach, Kaba Diawara.
Cissé’s disappointment was palpable in his Snapchat post, where he did not mince words, stating, “What was I telling you about that shitty coach…This country is working backward. Never seen. Zero consistency…”
This public outburst raises questions about the relationship between the player and the coach, as well as the internal dynamics within the national team.
The decision not to include Cissé in the AFCON 2023 squad seems to have struck a nerve, leading to a public airing of grievances.
Such instances of players openly criticizing their coaches are rare and often indicate underlying tensions within the team.
It remains to be seen how the Football Federation of Guinea and Coach Kaba Diawara will respond to this public display of frustration.
Ibrahima Cissé, known for his contributions as a defensive midfielder, has been a notable presence on the field.
His absence from the AFCON 2023 squad, coupled with the strong language used in his social media post, has brought attention to the selection process and team dynamics.
The controversy surrounding Cissé’s remarks may have implications for his future inclusion in the national team, especially given the sensitive nature of the comments made about Coach Kaba Diawara.
As the football community watches, this incident adds an unexpected layer of drama to the lead-up to AFCON 2023 for Guinea.
