How we will tackle Eagles —Leekens

GEORGES Leekens who will lead Algeria’s coaching crew against Nigeria in tomorrow’s Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier, says he knows so much about the Eagles and is in no mood to concede any advantage.

The Belgian trainer, returning to the Algerian post after 13 years previews the match: Nigeria will rush to the attack because that is where they have the talent, so we must wake up early to the game,’’ he told Le Buteur.

“We must be ready to be attacked and then operate against their attacks, we have to score one or two goals in this game,” he explained.

Leekens whose squad had their last training yesterday before their chartered flight to Nigeria, said he was optimistic.

‘I am not talking of the details of my contract now because this game is more important. We need to achieve a good result in Nigeria and keep our hopes alive.”
