Desert Foxes of Algeria head coach Djamel Belmadi says his team’s connection need to improve in order to beat ‘a good’ Nigerian side.

The Super Eagles played a 2-2 draw against Algeria Team B side on Friday but the Desert Foxes coach doesn’t falter in his respect for Peseiro led team.

The Desert Foxes beat Guinea on that same Friday 1-0 even without some of his star players like Riyad Mahrez, Youcef Belaili and some others.

“Nigeria is another game. We will try to get the whole group to play. The next game there will be more connection in our game because there will be players who are used to being there,” Belmadi said.

“You need automatisms to have a smoother game. Opposite, we have a good opposition. It’s not a small team.”

Algeria will face the Super Eagles on Tuesday September 28 by 8pm WAT in the last friendly match of this international break.
