South Africa Coach Fears Eagles : They Will Create Problems For Us Physically, Tactically, Technically
Published: November 16, 2018Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has admitted that they will encounter problems when they face Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday after identifying three key qualities of the Super Eagles that can hurt his team.
The former England U19 boss has designed a game plan that will neutralize the strengths of the Super Eagles.
''It'll be a very tough game, Nigeria are a good team. They will create problems for us so many levels, physically, tactically, technically,'' said Baxter.
''If we stretch ourselves and we play to the best of our ability and implement our game plan, then I think we will give them problems. If they don't then they will have a problem with us.''

Baxter highlighted the fact that South Africa were able to beat Nigeria in Uyo last year because they were disciplined.
''We went there, we played very tactically disciplined. That was pleasing for me to see a South African team play as tactically disciplined.
''We have to play as tactically disciplined in this game because we are at home, we need to win, we won't be on the back foot hopefully, and if we are we have to deal with that but it won't be a choice.''
