We’ll Make Life Hard For Them — Angola Star Dala Warns Super Eagles

Angola's forward, Gelson Dala, has issued a stern warning to the Super Eagles, cautioning them to prepare for a challenging encounter in the upcoming quarter-final clash at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for today, Friday.

The highly anticipated match will occur at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.

Jose Peseiro's team is set to face a formidable challenge against the goal-scoring prowess of the Angolan squad, who have impressively found the net nine times in the competition. The Palancas Negras have also displayed defensive resilience, conceding only three goals in four games.

Dala, who has contributed significantly with four goals for Pedro Goncalves' side, expressed the team's determination to make life difficult for the Super Eagles. He emphasized their belief in securing victory, especially with the support of their fans.

"We will fight and make life hard for them. We believe we can win with our fans," Dala confidently stated.

The much-anticipated match will kick off at 5 p.m. Cote d’Ivoire time (6 p.m. Nigeria time). Football enthusiasts can expect an intense battle between these two talented teams vying for a spot in the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament.

AFCON 2023: Lookman Confident In Super Eagles’ Victory Against Angola

Ademola Lookman expresses confidence in the Super Eagles' ability to overcome the Palancas Negras in the upcoming quarter-final clash at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The match against Angola, led by Jose Peseiro's squad, is set to take place at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan this Friday.

Despite Angola's impressive campaign in Cote d’Ivoire, securing three victories out of four games, Lookman acknowledges that Pedro Goncalves' side will present challenges. However, he remains optimistic that the Super Eagles will secure a spot in the semi-finals.

Anticipating a tough match, Lookman told reporters, “It’s going to be a difficult game but we are looking forward to it. We fought hard for the win against Cameroon and won’t relent in the next game. The Angolan team is good, which will make the game more interesting. Our target is to go all the way, and we will fight hard to achieve that.”

Lookman, who has contributed significantly with two goals and an assist in four appearances, emphasizes the team's determination to continue their successful run in the AFCON 2023 finals.

January 22, 2024 AFCON: Omeruo To Captain Super Eagles Against Guinea-Bissau

AFCON: Omeruo To Captain Super Eagles Against Guinea-Bissau

In today's match against Guinea-Bissau, the Super Eagles will be led by Kasimpasa defender Kenneth Omeruo, who has been appointed as the captain for the game. This significant encounter marks Nigeria's 100th appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Omeruo is set to step into the starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured William Troost-Ekong. Although the 30-year-old remained on the bench as an unused substitute in Nigeria's initial game against Equatorial Guinea, he played a pivotal role in the team's 1-0 victory over the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire last Thursday.

Kenneth Omeruo's captaincy in this milestone AFCON match adds to his impressive record, having already accumulated 100 appearances for the Super Eagles.

Nigeria Vs Cote d’Ivoire: Super Eagles To Face Make-Or-Mar Clash At 2023 AFCON

At 6 p.m. WAT today, the Super Eagles will gain further insight into their prospects of securing a fourth African Cup of Nations title.

Jose Peseiro’s squad encountered a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea in their inaugural match last Sunday, leaving fans and pundits disappointed considering Nigeria's potential to overcome the Central African opponents. Unfortunately, a combination of injuries and poor finishing resulted in the Eagles earning only one point.

This Thursday evening, they face a formidable challenge against the host nation. The Ivorians won their opening fixture 2-0 against Guinea-Bissau and aim to secure a second victory to advance to the knockout stages. Sebastien Haller was absent in the game against Guinea-Bissau due to an ankle injury, while Brighton’s Simon Adingra missed out on it due to a muscle issue. The availability of these key attackers against Nigeria remains uncertain.

Jose Peseiro has confirmed Alhassan Yusuf's unavailability for the match, as he limped off in the previous encounter with Equatorial Guinea. Despite this setback, Peseiro still has viable options, with Kelechi Iheanacho in good form and Terem Moffi settled in the team.

Backed by a passionate home crowd, Jean-Louis Gasset’s Ivorian side poses a significant challenge for Nigeria. Overcoming this hurdle is imperative for the Super Eagles if they harbor aspirations of reclaiming continental glory.
