Ivory Coast midfielder defender Emmanuel Eboue says his side were surprised by the style and determination of the Super Eagles in Sunday’s quarterfinal in Rustenburg.
Tournament favourites Ivory Coast were upset 2-1 by
a young Nigerian side at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, and Eboue says his side
were left stunned.
“I have to say Nigeria surprised us. The way they
played, the way they passed the ball. They defended as a team and did not break
their formation. I have to give credit to Stephen Keshi and Daniel Amokachi for
the kind of team they have built.”
Eboue, who has been the subject of controversy
because of tweets from an impostor, says he wishes the Super Eagles the best.
"I think they are good enough to win it if they
play like this and I wish them all the best.
"They are my brothers and I would never say bad
things about them. That person has been doing that for a long time. I don't
have twitter or Facebook. I only use Skype."
