Sébastien Haller, the striker for Borussia Dortmund, has had a challenging Africa Cup of Nations, just like all the other Ivorian players. He suffered an injury before the tournament, which forced him to watch his teammates struggle during the group stage. However, his return in the Round of 16 against Senegal marked a turning point for the Elephants. Haller played a key role in the team’s revival, scoring the only goal in the semi-final against DR Congo (1-0). As the final against Nigeria approaches, Haller is urging his fellow players to give their all and not have any regrets.
« We all went through a difficult period after the loss to Equatorial Guinea. Now, we don’t have much to lose as long as we give our maximum effort. We have been given a second chance, so we must make sure we leave without any regrets. What we’ve been through has brought us closer together, as we know how close we were to a nightmare, » Haller shared during the press conference.
