Guinea Coach Paul Put Ahead Of Nigeria Clash : I Know I Have A Big Game To Play Wednesday
Published: June 24, 2019Guinea must avoid defeat in their next Africa Cup of Nations match against Nigeria in order to brighten their chances of advancing to the last 16 of the competition.
The Syli Stars were almost beaten in their opener against Madagascar but
earned a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw after Bordeaux striker
Francois Kamano converted a spot kick in the 66th minute.
Guinea coach Paul Put is aiming to get their campaign back on track against one of the strongest teams in the competition, three-time Africa champions Nigeria.
''I know I have a big game to play on Wednesday against Nigeria. Today the group that did not start the match against Madagascar trained and the other group worked in the massage room,'' Put told guineefoot.info after training on Sunday.
''Nigeria is a great team, and it's up to us to be bigger.''
The Super Eagles have faced Guinea 17 times in the past, winning five, drawing seven and losing five.
