On the evening of October 11, Beijing time, the group stage of the African region of the World Preliminary Round will enter the fourth round. Côte d'Ivoire, which finishes first in Group D, will face Malawi again. Previously, they had beaten their opponents by 3 goals on the road.
Wuhan foreign player Evra still played as the main player for the Ivory Coast team in the last round of matches. Although he did not score, his role on the field became more and more important.
Previously, Evra was wearing the No. 10 of the Ivorian team. But at the start of the last round, his number became number 11. The Ivorian fringe player has gradually grown into an indispensable main player in the team.
Côte d'Ivoire beat Malawi 3-0 in the last round of the World Preliminary Round. Star Gervinho, who had played in the Chinese Super League, returned. Evra gave up his No. 10 shirt and changed to No. 11. The two have liked to interact before and have a fairly good relationship.
Malawi are not a fish-belly team, and they made it 2-2 away from home against the first Chinese U22 team.
At present, Côte d'Ivoire does not dare to be careless, and in the first round of the group stage they were forced to draw away from Mozambique, the worst in the group. The team currently has 7 points, and if they lose points against Malawi or Mozambique, the first place in the group is likely to be lost. According to the rules of the African zone of the World Preliminary Round, only the first place in the group can enter the next round of competition.
Evra continued to make his debut for the team, starting in this World Cup and contributing 1 assist. The coach was replaced in 71 minutes, evra came off and Poga played for Sassuolo. The latter scored 1 goal to seal the win for the team.
Côte d'Ivoire retained its lead. On the 11th, they will face Malawi again at home. In the event of an accident, the team is likely to be overtaken by Cameroon behind it. Evra is likely to start for the team again, as in the first 3 rounds.
At the same time last year, Evra was just a firefighter for the Ivorian national team. Fans believe that the Ivorian team called Evra back to replace a group of Ivorian forwards who played in Europe. But no one thought that this small Chinese Super League foreign aid had actually become the main force of the team.
In last year's warm-up match, Evra made his first appearance for Côte d'Ivoire. Previously, he also had the opportunity to join the national football team's big list, in an interview with the media, Kwasi said bluntly that he had taken him Coach Li Tie once wanted to summon him, but was eventually rejected by Evra.
The Ivorian team has always liked to dress indiscriminately until the main players returned. Evra was placed at number 10, much to the surprise of the fans. After the start of the World Preliminary Tournament, the Ivorian players who played in Europe have returned one after another, and what surprised the fans even more is that Evra is not only the main force, but also wears the symbol of the winger No. 11. During the game, Evra ran forward and backward, not only able to assist in the opponent's penalty area, but also to defend and protect his team's side.
Evra has become the team's iron workhorse, which also means that the time for his return to the Chinese Super League will be postponed.
The World Preliminary Round in Africa will end on 17 November. Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon are intertwined, and the two teams will meet in the final round.
Even if she flies after the game, Evra will most likely have to wait until the start of the league before resuming training.
And in early January next year, the African Cup of Nations will start. If the Chinese Super League, as rumored, is postponed, Evra will need to give up the Africa Cup of Nations to play in the league.
