Man City Star Raheem Sterling: Super Eagles Are As Physical & Technical As England
Published: May 29, 2018Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling believes that Nigeria will be formidable opponents when they face off at Wembley in a pre-World Cup friendly on June 2.
Super Eagles stars Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho will not be new to Sterling as they both play in the Premier League and were teammates with him at Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.
''I probably got more ticket requests than I have any game at Wembley, that's for sure,'' Raheem Sterling told Extratimesoccerlive
''I think we got a great physical team but I know for the fact that the Nigerian team will be as physical as us and technical as us but it's going to be a game of the day.
''It is a friendly but I don't think it would be a friendly game because both teams are really going to get prepared and be ready.''
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate is using the friendly against the Super Eagles to prepare his team for their first game in the 2018 World Cup against Tunisia on June 18, 2018.
The England squad trained at St. George's Park on Tuesday.
