Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has cautioned Nigeria against starting Saturday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup opener against Croatia , reports Completesportsnigeria.com.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria, who are making their sixth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, started poorly in their last two pre-World Cup friendlies against England and Czech Republic which ended in defeats.
“It will be a long day if we don’t start well,” Oliseh told CSN.
“We must ensure that they don’t get too comfortable on the ball. They have more creative players to hurt any team but likewise we have players who could disrupt their rhythm as well.”
Oliseh, who featured for Nigeria at the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, also advised the forwards to be clinical when they have the chance to score.
The former Eagles captain added: “It will be tough imposing our game on them because of the qualities they have but whenever we get to do that we must make it count by taking the chances that come our way. I wish them good luck.”
Since making their first game at the FIFA World Cup, the Super Eagles have won two of their opening World Cup games, losing two and drawing one.
