Mali vs Cote d'Ivoire - Kamara warns Elephants against making mistakes in Mali match
Posted Monday, July 08, 2019 by PA
Ivory Coast coach Ibrahim Kamara has warned his players they cannot afford to make mistakes if they are to find a way past Mali and reach the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.
The sides meet in Suez on Monday with a place in the last eight at stake, and are only too aware of the price of failure.
Kamara said at his pre-match press conference: “We know that if we don’t win, we’re out. We’ll have to be focused because any mistake could cost a lot.”
Twice winners of the competition, Ivory Coast qualified for the knockout phase as runners-up in Group D, and their reward is a showdown with the unbeaten winners of Group E.
However, Mali coach Mohamed Magassouba said: “What happened in the past doesn’t matter. What matters is the next game.
“We want to make history. In order to do that, we need humility and self-sacrifice. We want people in Mali to be happy.”
