On Thursday, Salisu Yusuf, Assistant Coach of the Super
Eagles said that Argentina can be beaten by the Nigerian players.
Yusuf spoke in Abuja ahead of the Nov. 14 friendly match
against the former world champions in Russia.
The coach said that the Super Eagles can reverse the series
of defeats suffered at the hands of the South Americans by beating them in Russia.
Yusuf revealed that Argentina’s track records would not be
an advantage because the two teams would play the match based on their current
form.
“My players are equal to the task anytime anywhere and we
are not afraid of big names because big names no longer play football, but
talent and determination are key to winning matches,’’ the coach said.
He assured Nigerians of an impressive outing against
Argentina in the warm-up match aimed at boosting the morale of not only the
players but their fans for World Cup.
The friendly match will be one in the series lined up to
familiarise Nigerian players with the playing style of their likely opponents
at the World Cup.
