The 21-year-old midfielder revealed that the Greens’ task to get a positive result against the Super Eagles brings them closer to the heat
Nabil Bentaleb has said that Algeria are under pressure to deliver when they face Nigeria in their second 2018 World Cup Qualifying match in Uyo on Saturday.
The Greens performed below expectation when they drew Cameroon at home in their opening fixture, and they will have to win against Group B leaders Nigeria in Uyo to strengthen their bid for a place in Russia.
“I must say that we are a bit under pressure because we need a good result against Nigeria. But I’m optimistic because Algeria always give good output in difficult times,” Bentaleb told Le Buteur.
The on-loan Schalke 04, who has found a new lease of life in Germany after a disappointing campaign with Tottenham, downplayed the effect sacking and hiring a new coach within a qualifying series could have. With Georges Leekens replacing Milosec Rajevac after the opening fixture.
“Risky? No. It remains the choice of the president of the federation. Now, if the old coach did not have the means to drive the country far in this competition, then this is definitely a good decision.”
