The captain of the senior national team of Angola Fredy Ribeiro says the Super Eagles are the favourite to win the Africa Cup of Nations because they have what it takes to be champions for the fourth time in the history of the tournament, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Super Eagles are through to the final, where they will take on the host Cote d’Ivoire on Sunday. Ribeiro whose team Angola were eliminated in the quarter final by the Super Eagles has sounded a note of warning to them ahead of the game.
Ribeiro was asked about the team that he thinks will win the AFCON, the attacking midfielder picked the Super Eagles of Nigeria owing to the fact that they have very good set of players to make it happen.
“I hope so. I hope they (Nigeria ) win the title”, he said.
“The coach is Portuguese, I know him and they have an amazing group of players and I hope for the Nigerian people that they are able to achieve this”.
