William Troost-Ekong says the Super Eagles will give their all to beat hosts Cote d’Ivoire in their next game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The encounter is billed for the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan on Thursday.
The Super Eagles held the Nzalang Nacional of Equatorial Guinea to a 1-1 draw in their first game on Sunday.
The Elephants claimed a 2-0 victory against Guinea-Bissau in the opening game of the competition.
Nigeria need to avoid defeat against Jean Louis Gasset’s men to boost their chances of claiming a place in the Round of 16.

Troost-Ekong reckoned it is important for the Super Eagles to go all out and fight for a win.
“We know what is at stake against Cote d’Ivoire. It’s a must win game for us and we must fight hard for the three points,” the PAOK Salonica of Greece player told Completesports.com.
”It’s going to be a difficult game, we know that. They will have 60,000 fans in the stadium backing them to win.
It’s not something that is going to scare us. We are top professionals and have have face similar situation like this in the past.
” We will give our best and ensure we come out with a win.”

Talk is cheap. All you do is to talk and boast. Go to the field play score and win. That’s what we want.
LMAO! I warned you guys on this forum not to support the sack of general roar that if it happens I go torment and give una problem for 1 million years…lol..una been think say I dey joke? Lol..
But anyway I don give una my term and condition why I will support the super eagles…
until they bring back general roar or bring someone better than him or until he quits coaching or pass to the great beyond…
If one of these happen then I can start supporting the se again. (either one of them) otherwise make una continue to dey call me ghanian or names I don’t care…
If you play tomorrow and they score you, don’t come back to 9ja again
Don’t talk more and more and more; talk on the pitch, more talking will press the team , then it will be beaten, so I recommend Super Eagles players to talk on the pitch , play organzied and pressing and tactical game with committment and dedication, if you do this , you will beat Cote De’ Ivore.
