Fae after the Germany match: Was disappointed with the lack of fair play

The head coach of the Ivory Coast national team, Emers Fahe, criticized the behavior of the German football players after the match of the second round of the 2026 World Cup, in which his team lost 1:2. According to the specialist, he expected a greater display of fair play from the German national team in the episode with the injury of defender Wilfried Singo. "We take such countries as an example for our own development, and yet I was a little disappointed by the lack of fair play shown by this German team. As for the young German defender Braun, I just told him to stay humble. It's true, he had a great match and plays in a very, very strong national team. But I don't think he needs to be rude about us just because he's playing back or because he wanted to win at 1-1. A little more fair play was expected from a footballing nation as big as Germany when Singo knocked the ball out of bounds due to injury. We would like them to return it to us," Fae said. The coach was referring to the moment in the 80th minute when Singo injured his thigh after a duel with Kai Havertz. The Ivorian defender raised his hand and knocked the ball over the sideline, but the German footballers did not return possession to the opponent. It will be recalled that the German national team won a strong-willed victory over Ivory Coast thanks to a double by Denis Undav.
