AFCON 2027 Qualifiers: Hervé Renard Explains Striker Ineffectiveness Against Ghana and Somalia

Ivory Coast coach Hervé Renard explained that the ineffectiveness of strikers Elye Wahi and Ange Yoan Bonny in the last two matches is due to poor service in the penalty area. In matches against Ghana and Somalia, neither striker scored despite scoring opportunities, including one by Rayan Fofana against Somalia. Renard emphasized the need to improve coordination and service quality to enhance offensive effectiveness. He also stressed patience with the attackers, who can become effective over time.
