The Arsenal manager has tipped the Super Eagles to join Argentina into the second round due to the fact that they have less stars but greater spirit
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has tipped Nigeria to reach the second round of the World Cup alongside Argentina in Group F.
The Frenchman feels that the Super Eagles have something going for them this year, 'team spirit' and a lack of big egos which has ensured for a united squad and differentiated them from many African sides of the past.
He said Argentina should win the group which also has Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina and that Nigeria should join them in the second round.
“I think that Nigeria might qualify for the second stage,” Wenger wrote in his Eurosport World Cup preview.
“They really made a good impression on me during the African Cup of Nations. They seem to have a really good team spirit, which is not always easy for African teams.
“They have less star players. They have a real team, and it’s been a while since that happened for them,” Wenger said of Stephen Keshi’s team. A www.goal.com report.
