Copa Barry, the goalkeeper for Ivory Coast, has weighed in on the group assignment for the Brazil 2014 World Cup, following the draw on Friday. Ivory Coast finds itself in Group C alongside Colombia, Greece, and Japan. Barry views this group as favorable for the Elephants.
“It’s a group that brings together teams with different styles of play. Compared to our first two participations, I admit that this draw is much less difficult. Group C is very interesting for us but also for our opponents. It’s true that they are not as formidable as those we played in 2006 and 2010, but we will have to work and stay focused to achieve our goal. Nothing is ever easy,” remarked the Ivorian goalkeeper.
Barry acknowledges the diversity in playing styles among the teams in Group C but emphasizes the need for hard work and focus to achieve success in the tournament. Despite the perceived less formidable nature of the group, he underscores the importance of dedication and caution in approaching the matches.
