The coach of the Junior Atlas Lions of Morocco Said Chiba has made it clear that they are ready to face the physical Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets.
Morocco topped Group B after they defeated South Africa 2-0 and Golden Eaglets stayed second with their 1-0 over Zambia.
Chiba admitted that Nigeria’s side is a very good team but insisted that their target is the next round.
“It will be a very difficult game and so will all the matches in this group. I watched Nigeria and it is a team which is very strong physically and quick on the offensive.
We have to prepare and play them differently from the match against South Africa. We will try to be more organized,” Chiba said.
“We have a lot of mutual respect with Nigeria and they have a really strong team. We will try to do better and balance our way of play to win this match. The target remains to get to the next round and this match will be key”, he said.
