Zahoui says his charges will be taking the game seriously as any other game and will be expecting to go all through to the finals.
"We've come here to play six 'finals' and we expect to suffer in each of them. Saturday's game will be difficult against the co-hosts,” Zahoui said. "They've got nothing to lose. We are going to remain focused because our objective is to win and to go as far as possible.
"If we don't make it to our destination all that we will have achieved will count for nothing. We're keeping our heads on our shoulders. I'll be happy when we've reached our objective which is to provide pleasure to the Ivorian people.
"We want to make it and we won't be satisfied with a couple of wins, that doesn't count for anything."
