National team coach makes statement on Wilfried Zaha! 'It's impossible...'

The Ivory Coast national team, which will compete in the Africa Cup of Nations, has left Galatasaray's star player Wilfried Zaha out of the squad. The reason why Zaha, who transferred to the Yellow-Reds at the beginning of the season and has drawn attention with his recent performance, did not receive a national team call-up has become a subject of curiosity. Ivory Coast head coach Jean-Louis Gasset made a statement regarding the matter.

"I received an email from Galatasaray"

Jean-Louis Gasset began his statement by saying, "Regarding Wilfried Zaha, I received an email from Galatasaray stating that the player was not available and could only join the national team on Tuesday. Because he had something to do in Dubai."

"He said he would come on Tuesday evening, I told him not to come"

Gasset said, "I found this email incomprehensible. I took my phone, called him, and asked what this email from the Galatasaray club was about. He said he would be with the national team on Tuesday evening. I told him, 'It's impossible. Even players who play on Sunday evening are required to arrive by Monday evening at the latest. Don't come.' Discipline is essential. We need to keep the screws tight. I don't like indiscipline. And I enforce discipline on them in this team because all players are at the same level."
