Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has taken aim at Ivory Coast's World Cup chances. The Togo star believes Ivory Coast's players always underachieve.
"I never trust them. They are the country that will always let you down," Adebayor told Ghana SoccerNet.
"How come for the last four or five years have they not won the African Cup of Nations? They have got the best striker in Europe in Didier Drogba. They have got the best midfielder today, Yaya Toure. You've got one of the best strikers in the league today, Wilfried Bony. You have all of those players.
"But the thing is, are they going to be collective enough? I don't know. I am not an Ivorian. They will be talking, laughing and enjoying themselves but when the time comes, they will forget about their job."
He continued: "There's no togetherness. Everyone wants to be the hero.
"Everybody wants to be the one to finish on a high so the folks remember them for what I have done, not for what we have done as a generation, nor for what we have done as team.
"Everyone wants to be like a hero and that is what is killing Ivory Coast."
