Algeria’s Coach, Milovan Rajevac Warns His Players To Expect Tough Match Against Nigeria

Algeria head coach Milovan Rajevac has warned his players to expect a very difficult match against Nigeria’s Super Eagles when both teams battle in the second match of the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers billed for November 12 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

The former Ghana coach expressed displeasure over his team’s 1-1 draw against Cameroon at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in the city of Blida on Sunday after Hilal Soudani opened scoring for the host in the 7th minute but Benjamin Moukandjo helped the visitors restore parity in the 24th minute. “We will try to call-up the applicable squad for the game against Nigeria, who are leading the group.

We will face a difficult opponent in them. We will make use of Cameroon’s draw and work not to repeat our mistakes in he coming games,” the said at the post-match conference.

The Serbian coach also urged his players to avoid repeating the same mistakes against Cameroon when they confront the Eagles next month.

“We played to win — all the players did their best to achieve the target. We are upset with this result as we failed to win over Cameroon in the beginning of the qualifiers,” he added “If we replayed the game again I would make some changes in the starting line up. I have to watch the game again to understand the reason for our dip in form after leading.”

Nigeria currently top Group B with three points after defeating Zambia 2-1 away at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in the city of Ndola on Sunday
