In the mixed zone after the defeat of Togo to Burkina Faso in the quarterfinals of Afcon 2013, Emmanuel Adebayor did not appreciate the tactical choices of his coach.

He said. “We are all disappointed that our adventure ends. But that’s football. I think tonight we were a little too defensive. We tried several times to talk to the coach to put a second striker but he did not listen.Finally, it becomes useless to look for scapegoats, we lost, and we’ll go home. “

“We’re actually doing something extraordinary. But everything is in the water due to lack of serious tactical choice. “
