Algeria Star : Nigeria Not Coming As Tourists, We Won't Take Game Lightly
Published: November 07, 2017
Nimes defender Liassine Bentaïba Cadamuro has opined that the Super Eagles will be competitive when they face the Algerian National Team on Friday, even though they have already qualified for the World Cup.
Desert Foxes coach Rabah Madjer has summoned Cadamuro for the upcoming games against Nigeria and Central African Republic due to his versatility as he can operate as a right back, central defender or left back.
''Qualification for the World Cup has not been achieved, but this match against Nigeria will serve us to prepare for the next African Cup of Nations,'' Cadamuro said to Le Buteur .
''Nigeria qualified and had a very good playoff phase. I do not think, however, that they will come as tourists, even if they are sure to finish first in the group.
''It's up to us to prepare well this week in order to approach the meeting. We should not take this game lightly.''
Cadamuro was a non-playing substitute when the Super Eagles beat Algeria 3-1 on match day two of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in November 2016.
