Ahead of the second group game slated for Wednesday, the head coach of the Italian young Azzuris Carmine Nunziata has made it clear that they are expecting a tough game.
Italy defeated Brazil 3-2 in their opening game while Nigeria’s Flying Eagles also beat the Dominican Republic 2-1.
Both sides are eyeing a place in the round 16 and victory for either side will ensure that.
The coach recognised that Nigeria are very physical and plays with speed, so they must be on top of their game to secure a win.
“A strong team difficult to face because they have extremely physical players, endowed with great speed. It won’t be easy, an important match to continue our journey in this World Cup”, he started.
