Del-bosque : Nigeria’ll Be Tough In Brazil by Nnamdig2(m): 12:01am On Nov 22, 2013 |
Our Reporter November 21, 2013 1 Comment » From IKENNA OKAFOR, Johannesburg Spain national team Coach, Vicente del Bosque has declared the Super Eagles as a major threat to oppositions, following the African champions great outing against the Azzurri of Italy on Monday In an exclusive chat with Daily SunSports at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, Del Bosque revealed that he watched the Super Eagles international friendly and described it as world class. “When I saw Nigeria on television, I was stunned because they showed their real worth. I knew we didn’t play them with their full squad at the Confederations Cup in Brazil. They are full of surprises, but we will be ready to square up against any team at the World Cup” Despite the lone goal defeat handed to the la furia roja by Bafana Bafana, Del Bosque stated that the tour of Africa had been a lesson well learnt, while revealing that he would not mind to play Nigeria at the group stage in 2014 World Cup. “We played two matches, won one and lost the other. We are happy about our performance but goalkeeper Valdes injury is more painful than the defeat to South Africa” “We would not mind to be in the same group with Nigeria. They defeated us in 1994 and they have a great team now again. They are coming to the World Cup as African champions, so you have to give them the respect. They have good players. I believe they will be strong and tough to beat.” Spain will be at the World Cup as reigning European and World Champion. They were unable to add the FIFA a confederations cup to their trophy cabinet as they were trounced 3-0 by the winners, Brazil.

“We would not mind to be inwell, to err is human! Nigeria never played spain in USA '94 but France '98 where we defeated spain by 3 goals to 2 which was our first match in the tournament. |

The defeat Nigeria gave spain at France 98 is still painful to spain, they knew some key players were absent at the confederations cup hence they still want to revenge that defeat. |

Nigeria is a great football nation. They should not underestimate themself. Am very sure Nigeria will defeat Spain whenever they clash. |

Spain defeated us in the confederation cup. I don't want them in our group because Spain will win us |

And we didn't even start with our first 11 against Italy. Let's meet Spain again, I'm sure we'd come out with a positive result |
