Argentina football legend Juan Sebastien Veron has lashed out at African players terming them as unstable in his analysis of Argentina group D World Cup 2018 rivals Nigeria.
Veron who faced Nigeria when both teams met at the 2002 World Cup in Korea, a game which he provided the assist for Argentina lone goal of the game which ended as the winner admitted that the Eagles are unpredictable.
Nigeria defeated Argentina 4-2 in a recent friendly game, but Veron said it will count for nothing when both teams square up against each other in one of the games of the Russia 2018 World Cup.
“Nigeria is unpredictable. They always come to us in the group. African players are actually unstable and depend on what they have a day before and how they feel ahead of the game,” he told Dnevno.
“Croatia is not bad, it has players in the strong clubs in Europe. Truth, the World have gone through the play, but should not be underestimated. We are stronger than them, but we should be careful”, Veron concluded.
