Kolo Toure – Centre-Half – Cote D’Ivoire

Pundits legitimately questioned Cote D’Ivoire’s defence before the tournament began, as they had shipped the most goals of any team on the continent during qualifiers. Two changes, seem to have put sealer in Les Elephants’ porous defence: 1) A tactical switch from a 4-3-3, to a 5-2-3, and 2) the return of Kolo Touré from international retirement. What the Ivorian backline lacked, perhaps, was communication previous provided by Didier Zokora and Toure. His re-introduction to Renard’s starting eleven prompted an immediate improvement as only four goals were conceded in six matches.
