The selection of Jodel Dossou for the CAF 2027 qualifiers has sparked strong divisions of opinion among supporters and analysts of Beninese football.
Despite having over ten years of experience with the Squirrels, the consistency and recent performances of the Beninese TGV struggle to impress an increasingly critical audience regarding the form of key players. Critics point to his recent club career in Luxembourg and a decline in his influence on the national team's attacking play.
For many observers, the technical staff's repeated decision to maintain confidence in a declining player hinders the emergence of a new generation of promising young talents in the Beninese attack. Meanwhile, the coach continues to rely on Dossou's speed and tactical maturity in crucial moments.
Determined to respond to supporters' criticisms, Jodel Dossou remains focused on the pitch, where he must deliver convincing performances to silence the skeptics and justify his place in the team.
