"We came here to reach the final, play there, and win the tournament. If that means getting past the defending champions, then we have to be ready," said Burkina Faso national team coach Brama Traore, as quoted on the official website of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The 51-year-old tactician said his team had made the best possible preparations to face Ivory Coast.
