\n

Former Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has warned Angola that the Super Eagles are in Cote d\u2019Ivoire for serious business amid the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.<\/p>\n

Omeruo, who currently plays his club football at Kasimpasa, said Jose Peseiro\u2019s side will do the talking on the pitch when they face Angola in the quarter-final tie on Friday.<\/p>\n

Nigeria head to the game after beating Cameroon 2-0 in the round of 16, while Angola won 3-0 against Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not need to go into back-and-forth chatter with any team. The Super Eagles are in Cote d\u2019Ivoire for serious business. We have not played Angola for a long time but I remember we played them in 2012 in a friendly and it ended in a draw. I have also read of how previous encounters between the two countries have been quite close,\u201d Omeruo said after one of the team\u2019s training sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no possibility of Friday\u2019s match ending in a draw; a winner must emerge. So much talk has been going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur collective resolve is to do the talking on the pitch. The Nigerian Spirit trumps all.\u201d<\/p>\n
