Argentina Winger: Nigeria Are Our Most Difficult Opponents In Group D

FC Zenit Saint Petersburg winger Emiliano Rigoni has named Nigeria as Argentina's most difficult opponents in Group D of the 2018 World Cup.

The two-time world champions have already beaten the Super Eagles four times in four attempts in previous tournaments but Rigoni is aware of the fact that they were humiliated 4-2 in a friendly two months ago.

''The group is hard. In general, I think that there is no such group at the World Cup in Russia where you can definitely say who is the favorite, where exactly you know which teams will leave the group,''  Rigoni told Zenit's official website.

''This is not, all matches will be difficult. Separately, I would single out the game with Nigeria, with which we have already met a huge number of times in the last World Cup, and it has never been easy.

''It will not be easy this time, but we come to this tournament with a clear desire to win all, not to lose a single match and win the title.''

Emiliano Rigoni replaced ángel Di María in the 76th minute during the friendly in Krasnodar on November 14.
