Hand 2013 Africa Nations Cup title to Nigeria -Dutch football legend, Ruud Gullit
Headlines, Soccer, Sports Thursday, February 7th, 2013DUTCH football legend, Ruud Gullit, believes the Super Eagles are as good as winning the 2013 Africa Nations Cup following a spectacular performance on Wednesday when Nigeria beat Mali 4-1 in the first semi-final of Afcon 2013.
To him, the turning point for Nigeria was the win over the highly-rated Ivory Coast team which Nigeria beat 2-1 in the quarter final.
‘’I think the Nigerian football is the best on display.They have a strong and clever way to get the ball behind their opponents especially with Mikel dictating the direction where the passes go,’’ Gullit told Supersport.
He gave credit to Stephen Keshi’s tactical options.
‘’Against Ivory Coast, everybody thought the Eagles were coming to defend but they came for attacking play and it paid off. With that mindset, they came to hurt the Malians’’.
