Yaya Toure can do the job says Herve Renard
Ivory Coast head coach Herve Renard said on Friday that he
is hoping for more from captain Yaya Toure in the side's Group D clash
with Mali on Saturday
Ivory Coast head coach Herve Renard is looking to captain Yaya Toure to inspire his side against Mali on Saturday in Group D of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Renard took Toure off near the end of the 1-1 draw with Guinea, claiming the Manchester City star was tired.
But he is hoping for more from his midfielder to compensate for the absence of suspended forward Gervinho.
In the opening Group D match, the Ivorians were held to a surprising 1-1 by Guinea, with Toure coming off late in the second half.
Ivory coast head coach Herve Renard said Ivory Coast can't have a player like Gervinho, Roma attacker Gervinho will miss two matches in the on going CAF Nations Cup due to the red card he received.
"We can't have a player like Gervinho because there is only one Gervinho in Ivory Coast and, maybe, in the competition. But we have a lot of talents like Seydou Doumbia, Junior Tallo, Max Gradel, Lacina Traore...(breaks into French), oh, sorry! We have some other players. But I am sure the one who will play to replace Gervinho will do a good game."
