In his words, “Nigeria have a lot of strength, more so than weaknesses. We’ve targeted the Canada game and looked at what they did there.

They showed the Olympic champions that they can compete with anyone, they are one of the fastest teams in the tournament on the break, and in transition, They have speed both on the left and right side.

They have a number nine position that can both post off and hit runs in behind, they central midfielder that is very technical, and a tactical backline that doesn’t hesitate to go forward.

I’m also impressed with the short leading and the short preparation time and how they got the team to play together, to play for each other, tactically, solidly, and as a unit, as well as individual skill, so, we need to have an A-game defensively, to stop their attacking threat, also, we need to move the ball really, really fast because they showed against Canada that they can play very physical if they get close in a duel and they are very good at that one-on-one duel game. so we need to play very fast on the ball as well.”
