But Mr. President of the Republic, when we saw your message of encouragement… Excellency Mr. President, as we say back home, you’ve created something”, said Captain Max Alain Gradel.
“Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, this is your Commando. This is your team. Here is your cup. Here is your 3rd star,” declared the President of the Ivorian Football Federation, Yacine Idriss Diallo.
