A satisfaction for the winger Salomon Kalou. «I think it is a good beginning. Defensively, we worked hard to not concede a goal and offensively, we still managed to create chances.
Obviously, we took just one point, but in a competition like the World Cup, it's nice to be reassured by not losing the first match.
This match gave us great confidence for the future, especially we came from a poor campaign in the CAN, said the Chelsea striker to the press.
For Recall, Côte d'Ivoire had been eliminated in the quarterfinals stage of the last edition of the CAN... Next match for Kalou and his teammates on Sunday (20:30) against Brazil, in the second match of the group G.
