Moras reckons that the friendly against Nigeria will give them a hint of what to expect when they face the Elephants in their final Group C fixture on June 24 at Estádio Castelão, Fortaleza.

The 32 - year - old told gazzetta.gr : “Roughly selecting this team has to do with this purpose. Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire play in the same way. It’s an important friendly match and we want to find the rhythm for the first game in the World Cup against Colombia.”
