The head coach of Algeria Vladimir Petkovic has revealed what his team must do tomorrow if they are to get a positive result against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in tomorrow’s AFCON quarter final game at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Both teams head into the crunch tie with wins in all of their four games in the tournament so far, but that record will definitely be ended tomorrow with only one team to qualify for the semi final.
Algeria who were 1-0 winners over DR Congo three days ago in the round of 16 will be up against a Super Eagles team, who were too strong for Mozambique in the same round picking up a resounding 4-0 win.
Looking ahead to what he termed as a very crucial clash between two top teams Petkovic revealed what his team must do in the game.
“The most important thing is the mindset; everything starts with that, and from that perspective, we are beyond reproach. We have confidence and quality. Tomorrow, we will need to be just as strong defensively as offensively. That will be crucial”, he stated.
“All the details will be important against Nigeria. Nothing must be left to chance. We have the qualities and we believe in ourselves. It’s up to us now to deliver a great match”.
He also admitted that the Nigerian attack led by the duo of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman is better in terms of players quality than the one at his disposal.
