Côte d’Ivoire are the hot favorites of this tournament, and they are normally expected to cruise into the knockout phase with not much difficulty. Yet, this prospect could be tarnished by a few confronts – among which the most remarkable one is nothing but fatigue.

In a recent interview with the press, the head coach of La Côte d’Ivoire Vahid Halilhodzic showed concerned about his team’s physical weakness, specifically making mention of his striker Didier Drogba – who was said to be very tired.

\"We are concerned for all our players\' fitness in the national football squad, especially players like (Didier) Drogba,\" he said.

\"Drogba is involved in so many matches (at Chelsea), but he is a human being, not a machine.\"

Regardless of this fact, things have vaguely changed; ahead of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, Drogba’s health was reported to have significantly improved.

\"It is true that I was slightly exhausted after being involved in Chelsea’s last game against Fulham,\" Drogba avowed during the first week of January.


\"Even though, I hope my fitness will be better by the time we go to Angola.\"

The Elephants of La Côte d’Ivoire recently defeated Tanzania 1-0 and also won 2-0 against Rwanda in two warm-up matches ahead of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. Nevertheless, considering the numerous opportunities the Elephants had in both games, the team’s managing board thinks that they should have scored more goals.

Mentally strong Burkina Faso ready to bring down the Elephants?

As a result, despite the big names which belong to the Ivory Coast, the Elephants could stumble against a strong-minded Burkina Faso side in their first encounter of the tournament.
Burkina Faso are still bettering their standard in the African continent in terms of football achievements, and the fact that they were able to reach the finals of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola shows how dangerous they can be.

Having been destined to play against one of Africa’s best side ever, the Stallions of Burkina Faso will need to get their best men prepared to resist the weight of the Elephants.
Speaking of the winner of this match, it is somehow hard to pick the right team, bearing in mind the verity that upsets are never absent in great competitions such as the Africa Cup of Nations.
