Super Eagles captain, Wilfred Ndidi, states that the team is prepared to avoid a recurrence of their previous defeat against the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia, according to DAILY POST.
Nigeria suffered a 1-0 loss to the North Africans the last time both teams faced off in a Round of 16 match at AFCON 2021.
The Super Eagles performed admirably during the group stage of that tournament, winning all three of their matches and receiving praise from fans and analysts for their impressive style of play.
In contrast, Tunisia barely advanced to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams.
Reflecting on that painful defeat, Ndidi asserted that they will not allow a similar outcome this time.
“It was a painful loss in 2019. However, it gives us greater confidence. When we discussed it, the players were truly prepared,” Ndidi stated during a pre-match press conference on Friday.
