Phillipe Troussier : Nigeria Can Be Dangerous
Published: June 30, 2014
Former Nigeria manager Phillipe Troussier has been asked to comment on the upcoming meeting between the Super Eagles and the Blues.
The Frenchman has opined that it would be difficult for the France team to grind out a win against the African opponents.
“This is a team that can be dangerous. It has a lot of capacity on the offensive and athletic. As the second rounds are played, the game will be played in a very hot condition and these are all factors to be taken into account.
“This African team remains unknown to the French, who do not usually play against formations of this continent,” Phillipe Troussier told Radio Monte Carlo Sport.
