“Playing against Nigeria is a benchmark match, especially in the first half, we could have led 3-0,” Belmadi said as he recounts 2019 AFCON  semi-finals clash with Nigeria.

“They are always very close matches against them, moreover they won more than we did. I am looking forward to a tough game against Nigeria to make progress.

“We could have opted very quickly against smaller teams but I had the requirement to obtain these two prestigious matches against Nigeria and Mexico,” he said.

Belmadi said Nigeria’s new stage as the third-best team in Africa gave credit to his resolve to engage coach Gernot Rohr side.

“Nigeria everyone knows is the third-best team in the FIFA / CAF ranking,” he told Algerian sports platform DZ foot on Wednesday.
