Ivory Coast goalkeeper Abdul Karim Cisse has warned Zambia that they will see a different side from the one which lost Namibia.
The Elephants suffered a shock defeat to Nambia on Sunday.
With Zambia beating Uganda 3-1, the West Africans are under pressure ahead of Thursday’s Group B tie.
“It’s going to be pretty difficult, but [against Zambia] you’ll see a new face of the Ivory,” the 32 year old said.
“The Zambia match is just another game. They’re a good footballing nation, but we know how to play and we know our qualities,” the Asec Mimosa veteran said
“The fact we’ve lost our first game increases the pressure, but it’s a good pressure.
Cisse, hopes his side will draw inspiration from Rwanda 2016 edition of CHAN.
The Elephants lost the first match but went on to top their Group.
But on Thursday, they will come up against arguably one of the most experienced side at the tournament and will have to be at their best.
Despite a lacklustre display in the first half against Uganda, Zambia came out after the break looking more solid and stable, dispatched off the Cranes without even being vintage.
Careful,ivorians,you don’t talk like that to chipolopolo.
Ati you will see a different fired up Ivory so you will see a different fired up chipolopolo also because both these teams sucked in there First respective games,lord let us watch this game.
Chipolopolo will eject them all…starting with Ivory Coast! Hope your bags r packed!!
The Truth Is They Cant Change The Whole 11 players, it will be 11 VS 11,
Ivory Coast need a miracle.
Praying for a miracle is I Coast.
I would say Zambia needs 2 miracles in order to keep our Ivory Coast:
1. Wedson Nyirenda to have luck on his side just like in the first game; and
2. Ngonga’s injury to continue till we exit CHAN.
We are happy with the energy of Silwimba, Mbewe & Friday Samu. Ngonga will just come in and misfire!
