On the eve of the highly anticipated showdown against Curaçao in the third round of the World Cup, Emerse Faé, coach of the Elephants, maintained his usual tone. The Ivory Coast manager wants to see the same team that faced Ecuador and Germany.

At the press conference, he stated: "The key is our ability to maintain the same seriousness, the same spirit, and the same passion we showed against Ecuador and Germany." For him, respecting the opponent will be crucial: "If we respect our opponent tomorrow and deliver a strong performance, I believe we have a great chance to qualify for the Round of 16."

The stage is set for 20:00 GMT at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, USA. With three points after a 1-0 win over Ecuador and a 2-1 loss to Germany, Ivory Coast must prove themselves against Curaçao to secure a spot in the Round of 16.
