Gervinho has urged the Elephants to march to the title after
Ivory coast successfully booked its place in the 2015 Africa
cup of Nations final.
The AS Roma winger netted the second in a 3-1 win over the
Democratic Republic of Congo in an exciting semifinal
encounter at the Estadio de Bata on Wednesday.
The win secured Ivory Coast’s place in the final of the Africa’s
showpiece for the third time in nine years.
Having seen his country lost on penalties to Egypt in 2006
before missing from the spot himself in the Elephants loss to
Zambia in 2012, Gervinho hopes it will be third time lucky for
the Ivorians, who are seeking their first AFCON title since
1992.
“It was difficult, we faced a good team,” said Gervinho in the
aftermath of their win over the Leopards. “We managed to
keep our calm and took advantage of our chances, we were
efficient. No matter how you do it, you have to win this kind
of games and it’s what we did. “We are going to enjoy the
moment, it has been a long way for us. We’ll get back to work
tomorrow.”
