On Saturday in Abidjan, Ivory Coast lost by the narrowest of margins to Cameroon. A friendly but tightly contested match, as often between these two great African football nations.
Yan Diomandé was very direct after the match: "The coach wanted to try something, it didn't work." A statement that echoes Hervé Renard's own admission of questionable choices.
The player did not specify what "something" was. Ivorian fans hope the necessary adjustments will be made for future fixtures.
