Zabaleta Afraid Of Eagles
--Man City defender insists beating Nigeria won’t be easyManchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has admitted that facing Nigeria will not be easy at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
“Bosnia and Nigeria won’t be easy, but we played Bosnia and beat them 2-0 recently in the USA. They have some good individual players so we will see," he said.
“We have to be happy with the draw. There are groups that are tougher but it’s easy to say that on paper – you never know until you actually play the games. I may be marking Edin (Dzeko) so I will make it as difficult as possible for him!"
His club teammate and compatriot Sergio Aguero also concurred, stating that there are no easy matches at the World Cup.
“There's no easy match in the World Cup, but effort and hard work always gives rewards! Come on Argentina!,” he said.
Nigeria have lost their last three senior FIFA World Cup meetings against Argentina and have also lost to the Albiceleste at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2008 men's Olympic football event finals in Beijing.
Keshi’s African champions will contend with two-time world champions Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran in Group F.
