Without Protocol and in the simplest way in the world, this small man landed in jacket tie, in the Gallery of the Felix Houpouet Boigny Stadium during the training of the indomitable Lions Tuesday afternoon and began to address the crowd of journalists and supporters present in the gallery.
“When Elephant is there, the Lion is tiny, you will see, Cameroon will be beaten. Go tell them and after this defeat, pass the score looped on Cameroon television channels" said the Cote d'Ivoire sports boss.
Facing his listeners who did not believe their ears, Alain Lobognon went further by sending a verbal warning to the Moroccan referee in the match of Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon.
"The referee of this match sleeps here in Abidjan. And if he plays and we do lose this match, he will see Ebola before leaving" threatened the Minister who, for over 30-minutes was the focus of attention of the public.
Even some members of the Cameroon team turned several times to have a look at him whom they termed a hooligan.
