Austine Jay Okocha, a Nigerian legend, has disclosed the prerequisites for the Super Eagles to defeat Cote d’Ivoire in their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations match.
Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire, the hosts, will square off on Thursday at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium in Ebimpe, Abidjan.
Okocha said that Jose Peseiro’s team’s success mostly depends on experience and the appropriate attitude.
“I think what the key will be experience, desire, and state of mind. For me, they are professionals, and they know the importance of this match; I think their mindset will be the key,” the former midfielder told CAFonline.
Okocha stated that the Super Eagles should anticipate a challenging matchup with the hosts.
“Absolutely! Every match is difficult, but when you play the host country, it is even more difficult. But, of course, the beauty of football is that if you want to be champions, you have to win against the best,” Okocha added.
“And as we know, in football, every match is difficult. If you are well prepared, you have a chance of winning your match. But, we Nigerians, we know that it will be a difficult match but also, we believe that we have enough potential to be able to win this match.”
