Friendly: Super Eagles big test for Russia – Coach Karpin
Written by Areatatafo

Russia head coach, Valery Karpin has confessed the Super Eagles will be a big test for his side.

Karpin’s men defeated Zambia 5-0 in their last outing in March.

The Russians are noted for their high pressing style of play, which they have used to good effect in previous games.

The Super Eagles are expected to prove a tough nut to crack for the hosts.

Karpin, however, said they will stick with their style of play despite the quality of opposition.

“It does not matter who we play – Nigeria or Serbia – we want to do the things that we practice in training,” Karpin said ahead of the game.

“It is more difficult to press against Serbia or Cameroon than, for example, Grenada or Brunei. But the requirements are always the same.”

Tonight’s encounter at the Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow will kick-off at 6pm Nigerian time.
