Brazil legend Roberto Carlos says the Nigerian trio of Samuel Chukwueze, Samuel Kalu and Victor Osimhen will no doubt trouble the defence of Brazil when they take on Nigeria in an international friendly next month in Singapore.
Carlos was speaking as a guest on a television programme monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com where the 2-2 friendly draw Nigeria had with Ukraine was played as part of the show which was a preview to the Nigerian game.
Osimhen, Kalu and Chukwueze troubled the defence of Ukraine with their non stop running, skills and strength, something that Carlos said Brazil must be wary about when they play Nigeria on the 13th of September.
” The three forward players move real quick with strength and skills. Defenders don’t like playing against them but when you’re faced with them you just have to cope. I think that’s the strength of the Nigerian team”, Carlos said.
He however said he is confident that Brazil will triumph because they have players in attack who are now playing some of their best football in Europe, which he believe the defence of Nigeria won’t be able to handle.
