We are no longer expecting any easy game _Ekong

The Super Eagles Assistant Captain, William Troost Ekong, has said that the team is no longer expecting an easy opponent in the ongoing 2023 African Cup of Nations taking place at Ivory Coast.

This post match statement came as Super Eagles are poised to take on Angola national team in a quarter final clash which seems to resurrect the spirit of Sam Okaraji, who passed on when Nigeria played Angola in 1989.

He said ” 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.”
