France, Jan. 6 -- The Ivorians moved into the knockout stages as winners of Group F following victories over Gabon and Mozambique as well as a draw with Cameroon.

On the eve of the game at the Stade de Marrakech, Fae said he wanted his players to display the same commitment that they showed during the 1-1 stalemate with Cameroon on 28 December in Marrakesh.

"We're going to have to give it 100 percent against Burkina Faso," said the former Ivorian international midfielder.

"We need to use the same ingredients as we used against Cameroon: we need to stay totally focused.

"As soon as the referee blows the whistle, statistics will no longer matter. Both teams want to reach the quarter-finals."
