Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former France U-21 international Roger Boli has eulogised the Super Eagles for their defensive solidity at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles have conceded just once in four outings in the competition.<\/p>\n

Jose Peseiro\u2019s side were particularly impressive in the wins against heavyweights Cote d\u2019Ivoire and Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Boli named Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey and Ola Aina as the players, who have impressed him the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the other teams, I like the collective strength of Nigeria, especially the central defence, which has not conceded many goals. Ekong, Ajayi, Bassey, and also Aina, who does a great job on the pitch,\u201d the former defender told CAFonline.<\/p>\n
