As the World Cup approaches, Didier Drogba, at the age of 36, is determined to represent Ivory Coast and vie for victory on the grand stage of football.
Coach Sabri Lamouchi, while acknowledging Drogba’s immense contribution to Ivorian football, remains uncertain about his starting lineup for the upcoming friendly match against Belgium.
“Ivory Coast has yet to reach this stage, but once we reach the knockout rounds, anything is possible. Our friendly against Belgium will provide us with insight into our potential,” Lamouchi remarked.
“Didier Drogba is not only a symbol of Ivorian football but also an icon across Africa. He is a remarkable player and an astute individual. Drogba’s professionalism and commitment to the team are invaluable. A team that doesn’t evolve can’t improve,” he added.
The dynamic between Drogba and Lamouchi promises to be intense as they navigate Ivory Coast’s World Cup campaign.
