The Super Eagles defender and Skipper William Troost Ekong ahead of Angola clash says the squad is united and they all have their eyes set on the trophy in Ivory Coast, but they have to fight hard to win every game, stating that no opponent will come easy.
” In truth, there have not been easy games here. We have played Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, Guinea Bissau and Cameroon, and none has turned out to be a picnic
“From the quarter-finals, it will be a lot tougher because all the teams will believe they are good enough for the trophy.
“We are discussing among ourselves what we have to do. There is no resting on our oars. We saw Guinea eliminate Equatorial Guinea, which emerged as the best team in Group A. We can no longer expect any easy games,”
The super eagles number 1 shot stopper Stanley Bobo Nwabali has recovered from a potential knee injury in time to face Angola on Friday, 2nd of February, 2024 18:00 (WAT).
Nigeria will be hoping to maintain their number 1 shot stopper in goal against Angola for his calm, composed and collective performance in the tournament so far racking an average of 2.7 saves per game at the tournament.
