Tournament favourites, Cote D’Ivoire have said that Nigeria cannot stand in their way of reaching the semifinal of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. The Ivorians are bidding for a third successive semifinal place at the continental football fiesta but standing in their way are the Nigerians, who they confront on Sunday at the Royal Bafikong Stadium.
Both west African nations have been involved in feisty clashes in past editions of the tournament but this weekend’s showdown in Rustenburg is of high premium to the Ivorians, who have suffered successive heartbreaks in the last four editions of the Nations Cup.
Speaking ahead of the match, Drogba, said the Ivorians have what it takes to beat Nigeria.
“We are ready for the match against the Nigerians. We would do what we have to do to get to the semifinal. Nigeria would be tough but we are confident of beating our opponent”, said Drogba.
For Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, the match against the Nigerians would show their champion stuff of the Elephants.
