Accusing them of corruption, in statements that would incite the ire of the residents of the CAF headquarters and cost its owner a lot.
The Monaco and Senegalese national team player accused Motsepe's organization of corruption, and said after the end of the 16-final match for Cannes, which continues in Ivory Coast, saying, "You have killed the competition. You are corrupt. Keep your African Cup."
Diatta criticized the Gabonese referee, Achiu, and said in the mixed zone, after the bitter exclusion, “Everyone has seen it.” “You cannot decide the fate of an entire country in this way. You go to the VAR and give them a penalty kick, while Ismaila Sarr was taking the ball 40 metres, entering the area and being fouled. On the other hand, you do not want to go and watch the shot. This is offensive. I am really sorry, but they killed us like this.” .
Diatta refers to the 55th-minute shot when Ivorian defender Kosounou obstructed his colleague Ismaila Sarr in the operations area without referee Pierre-Ghislain Achou moving.
