We know what to do to beat Super Eagles on Thursday as Nigeria is not our problem—Ivory Coast Coach Gasstte

Cote d’Ivoire head coach Jean Louis Gasset has said his players must raise their game to get a favourable result against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The hosts started their campaign at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations on an impressive note, edging out Guinea-Bissau 2-0.

The Elephants will be up against the Super Eagles in their second Group A game at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan on Thursday.

Gasset declared that his players know what is needed to beat the Super Eagles.

“Regarding our second match, we know the strengths of Nigeria, they have an impressive offensive armada, they have the best African player in their squad,” he told reporters.

“But against them, we will have to raise our cursor. And I know my players will do it because I know you had to win that first game to be released.”

The Elephants top the Group A table with three points following the win against Equatorial Guinea.

Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea have a point each, while Guinea Bissau are yet to record a point.
