Super Eagles legend, Jay Jay Okocha has come out to say that he is anticipating a tough clash when Nigeria take on Ivory Coast today. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, any match against the host country at a tournament will always be tough, but if Super Eagles want to be champions in Ivory Coast, they need to win such games.
Okocha added that he believes Nigeria has the potential to win the match if they take their chances.
His words, “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 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.
My favorite [to win Afcon], of course, is Nigeria, naturally. Come on, we’ll wait and see.”
WOW.
