Côte d'Ivoire drew 1-1 with Morocco in a friendly on Saturday October 14. After the match, Jean-Louis Gasset appeared at a press conference. The Ivorian coach touched on a number of subjects. The former Saint-Etienne coach pointed the finger at his defense. Nevertheless, he believes he can put things right with time.
"We played one half against Mali. At the moment, I have the impression that my team is getting stronger. But we're worried about the defense. That was the problem when I took over. I'm at least trying to discover young players: Ousmane Diomande is 19 years old, he's one of the 25 best 19-year-old players in the world, all right. If we don't give them time to adapt, he'll play in Portugal, he'll play in the top leagues, he'll play in the Champions League or Europa League," says Jean-Louis Gasset.
