00:00 It's more than a fairy tale. I still have a hard time realizing that we did it.
00:09 When I think about everything we've been through, during the competition, the difficult moments,
00:17 the moments we've been through, the moments we came back to at the last minute, it's extraordinary.
00:24 It's an enormous chance. We were miraculously able to get the cup because we didn't give up.
00:32 We fought until the end and showed that we were men and that we knew how to bounce despite the tough moments.
00:40 Yes, boss. We're happy to be able to give pleasure to all the Ivorians.
00:47 It's clear that we didn't win from the start, but today we're all proud and happy.
00:52 I hope we can take advantage of this moment to all reconcile and enjoy it again and again.
01:02 We have a demanding audience, but I ask them to enjoy this moment because we know it won't happen again.
01:13 It might happen in 10, 20, 30, 40 years. So enjoy this moment.
01:19 We organised the best cup in history. It's incredible. It's magnificent.
01:25 The management was perfect tonight.
01:27 Sorry?
01:28 We felt that the management was perfect, even if Nigeria scored the goal.
01:32 Yes, we knew that we could score at any time. So we didn't have to give up.
01:37 We had to continue doing what we were doing well.
01:39 We managed to score the two goals we needed to win that game.
