"I've watched the World Cup all of my life, and now I get to play in one."
Ivory Coast's hopes?
"It's a 50-50 group. Any team could win it or finish bottom.
"The first game is hugely important against Japan. If we could win that game then it would really give us a good chance of progressing."
Key man?
"The team. People will obviously talk about Yaya Toure, Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Gervinho, but those players will tell you how important the service to them is from their team-mates.
"As a team, we achieve everything together, and that is something we pride ourselves on."
Favourite World Cup moment?
"The World Cup in 2002. Watching Brazil win that final was amazing, and Ronaldo stole the show with his goals against Germany.
"Out of any World Cup moment, that final stands out as the most memorable."
