🎧 Écouter l'article

Left on the bench for the 2026 World Cup, the RC Strasbourg striker chose the pitch to send a very clear message to the Elephants' coach, Emerse Faé.

On May 17, 2026, during the thrilling final day of Ligue 1 between RC Strasbourg and AS Monaco (a 5-4 victory for the Alsatians), Martial Godo stole the show. Scoring a masterful brace, the young Ivorian international particularly impressed with his celebration: the phone-to-ear gesture .

A barely veiled message aimed directly at his coach, to remind him that he is ready to jump at the slightest opportunity to fly to the World Cup.

Analysis of Faé's choice: While this celebration has set social media ablaze, it shouldn't disrupt the hierarchy established by Emerse Faé. The Ivorian coach will only call upon Godo in the event of a last-minute withdrawal from the 26 players already selected.

Key takeaways from the list

  1. Nicolas Pépé's return: A major absentee from the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, the striker is making his big comeback and will be part of the trip.
  2. The clash of the groups: During this group stage of the World Cup, Ivory Coast will have to fight hard against Germany , Ecuador and Curaçao .
