Crowned African champion with Ivory Coast on Sunday evening, Serge Aurier clearly had scores to settle as soon as he returned to the locker room.
The incredible outcome of the CAN, and this consecration of the organizing country, Côte d’Ivoire, at the end of a journey rich in twists and turns and emotions, visibly brought as much happiness as bitterness. Having come very close to elimination during the first phase after a humiliation suffered against Equatorial Guinea (0-4), the Elephants then crystallized many resentments. So it was time for revenge for some on Sunday evening.
Serge Aurier, just crowned African champion for the second time in his career, wanted to send one of his first messages to a stubborn detractor, Johnny Patcheko – an Ivorian personality presented as an activist influencer. Unfortunately, to the sometimes insulting criticisms made a few weeks ago, the former Parisian only responded with insults.
In loving memory of Laurent Blanc
The entire family of his target is there, and Serge Aurier is accompanied in his video by Nicolas Pépé or even Seko Fofana, always in cheerfully flowery terms. A slip sent on social networks which is reminiscent of the Periscope episode of the same full-back at PSG, when he publicly – without his knowledge a priori – insulted his coach Laurent Blanc.
This Monday, the famous Johnny Patcheko responded, noting that the humility advocated by Emerse Faé to his players was over. The person concerned is pleased to have pushed Côte d’Ivoire to the feat by stinging its national selection and promises a reunion in Morocco for the next edition of the CAN. In the summer of 2025.
