<div>The disappointment is still present but that does not prevent the Congolese from going for a bronze medal on Saturday during the classification match against South Africa at the Félix Houphouët Boigny stadium in Abidjan.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Homecoming in perspective for the Congolese coach who returns to the Félix Houphouët Boigny stadium: “My most beautiful memory in this enclosure is the semi-final against l'Africa that we won with ASEC Mimosas, during the Coupe de Côte d'Ivoire, about ten years ago . I won’t hide it from you, I can’t wait to be there and see the improved renovations,” said the French tactician.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For Sébastien Desabre, this small final will also be an opportunity to leave the competition favorably: “We have to leave on a positive note. We have come a long way, we have shown good things and we do not want a grain of sand to derail the machine. We will give everything to bring this medal home and present it to the Congolese people who are passionate about football.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At a pre-match press conference, Sébastien Desabre wanted to take stock: “We still have room for improvement to make. The results will be positive and we will do everything in place to improve this national team for the years to come.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Before closing this book full of memories of CAN, Sébastien Desabre wanted to thank all the Congolese for their support: “The Congolese were great with us. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you for everything,” concludes Desabre.</div>
