Guinea Star Man Naby Keita On How They Will Approach Game Vs Nigeria
Published: June 23, 2019Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has revealed that Guinea have to change their approach for their second Group B match against Nigeria on Wednesday, June 26.
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.
Keita was introduced off the bench in the 62nd minute, his first competitive game since suffering an injury against Barcelona in the semifinal of the Champions League on May 1.
Guinea's defensive frailties were exposed by Madagascar and the Liverpool star has insisted that they must avoid making mistakes at the back in their next game vs Nigeria.
Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone after yesterday's game, Keita said : ''I think we have to play forward and we have to try to play with aggression.
''When you score, do not accept that the opposing team equalizes because in this kind of tournament, do not give the opportunity to the opponent when you lead.''
Nigeria will qualify for the round of 16 of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations if they beat Guinea on Wednesday.
