“We played them in a home friendly in 2018 and from that team they still have some players. Also, we had the opportunity to watch their three friendly games in June. They played in Tunisia twice and the other one in Algeria and I had my scout there who watched the games. So during our stay in Austria, Liberia had three games in North Africa. They have a team, some of their players are in big clubs so I think we know them a little bit and we already had some video sessions with our players. It is really a good team and we never underrate them or any other teams” Gernot RohrAfter today’s game, Nigeria will on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, file out against Cape Verde in their second group game of the African World Cup qualifiers.
