A funny exchange at a distance ignites social networks after the success of Côte d’Ivoire, Sunday evening in the CAN 2024 final against Nigeria (1-2 victory). The Éléphants coach, Emerse Faé, responded to Jérôme Rothen, who questioned the level of the competition.
“A pseudo-journalist in France, who has never played an international match in his life, would have said that the level of the CAN was catastrophic because there was neither technique nor tactics,” he asserted. . I don’t think he understands anything about football. » The former deputy of Jean-Louis Gasset displayed a stern expression. He took over the reins of the selection after the latter’s resignation, following the Ivorian defeat against Equatorial Guinea (4-0).
Emerse Faé had a message to send last night, after the coronation of his country ???????? and his team, which he took charge of, after the dismissal of Jean Louis Gasset (whom he also congratulated for his work) following the defeat against the ???????? in the group stage #CAN2023 pic.twitter.com/kA3qBZqmNk

The former Nantes or Nice player didn’t stop there when tackling Jérôme Rothen: “When we look at the international career he had, I’m not surprised. I let him talk, he stood out, he made himself interesting. It was an extraordinary CAN, with twists and turns, goals, spectacle. It was very dishonest to say that this CAN was not of quality. »
The RMC channel consultant did not remain silent in the face of these comments. He responded to the Ivorian coach on Monday noon on the social network X (formerly Twitter): “You could have mentioned my name! You saw him more than once on the field (in addition to the jerseys I gave you). I promise, I won’t talk about your career and your 0 titles won. »
The former AS Monaco or Paris Saint-Germain player also promised to return to this subject in his show “Rothen s’ignée” this Monday at 6 p.m. The affair between the two men is therefore perhaps not over.
