French man Julien Mette has warned Morocco to be wary of the strength and threat of the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of tomorrow’s Africa Cup of Nations semi final game, OwnGoalNigeria.com.
The well travelled former coach of Djibouti says the Nigerian team is by far the best in the tournament judging by how they have progressed to the semi final, with a swashbuckling style of play.
Speaking ahead of the game after Nigeria’s comprehensive 2-0 win over Tunisia in the quarter final, he said Morocco need to find another area to beat Super Eagles who are superior in almost all departments.
“There is no team equivalent to Nigeria in terms of athletic data, strength, combativeness in duels… We’re going to have to beat them in the other areas”, he warned.
“Offensively, Nigeria is superior to Morocco. On the Moroccan side, there’s Brahim Diaz emerging, but if he goes out… Nigeria is capable of doing everything, killing you on the break, in structured attack, on set pieces”.
