The head coach of the senior national team of Saudi Arabia Roberto Mancini says the scary nature of the attack of the Super Eagles of Nigeria was largely responsible for the 2-2 draw on Friday, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Mancini saw his team snatch a late draw in Friday friendly game against the AFCON bound senior national team of Nigeria. Aside taking positives from the game, he said Nigeria could have scored more.
” We ended the game the better side but we could have lost because of the number of chances we gave away. Nigeria have very quick attackers and they play to their strength. Even when the ones who started were subbed off, the new guys are almost the same level . That attack is scary” , the coach told the country’s media.
His statement will come as a timely warning to teams ahead of next year Africa Cup of Nations, which the head coach of Nigeria said his team is capable of winning. A semi final spot will also see his contract extended for another two years.
Nigeria will begin the quest to win the tournament by first of all trying to get out of their group, where they will face host Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
