Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi says the team must stick to their game plan when they come up against the Palancas Negras of Angola on Friday.<\/p>\n

Jose Peseiro\u2019s men have conceded once in four games at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>\n

The former champions have won a lot of admirers due to their resilient display.<\/p>\n

Iwobi claimed it is important for the Super Eagles to maintain their style of play against Pedro Goncalves\u2019 side.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth teams want to qualify for the semi-final. For us we have to attack and defend well as we have done in previous games. We want to qualify for the next stage of the competition,\u201d Iwobi told a press on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to respect them (Angola). To get to this stage of the competition is a great achievement for them. They are a very good side with quality players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have kept three clean sheets since the first game which is good for the team and we have scored goals as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must fight to win the game. All of us must give our best on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
