Former Super Eagles coach, Johannes Bonfrere has provided the coaching crew of the Super Eagles of Nigeria with tips on how to beat Argentina ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
According to Bonfrere, Nigeria can avoid a defeat against Argentina if they prepare hard and come up with the right tactics.
It was Bonfrere who led Nigeria’s Under-23 team to a famous gold medal win at the Atlanta ’96 Olympics beating South American giants Brazil in the semi-final and Argentina in the final.
Since then, Argentina have beaten Nigeria in all their World Cup encounters
Bonfrere, however, believes that may not happen the fourth time in Russia 2018.
He told ScoreNigeria, “Nigeria have amazing talents, but lack tactics and good preparation in big games like the World Cup.
“Yes, in Atlanta 1996 Olympics, we prepared well and we won, especially that final against Argentina.
“If they prepared well, if they get their tactics well, they can come first (in their group),” he predicted.
“But for qualification, yes, they will, at least (come) second from the group.
“Good players, good coach and if they got good tactics, then the Super Eagles can beat Argentina”
