Tunisian international defender Radhouene Felhi has explained to infosfoot.net that the Carthage Eagles are already well prepared for their upcoming World Cup qualifier from a psychological perspective.

Despite this, their primary concern at present is how they will match up against their West African rivals Nigeria.


“The match against Nigeria is going to be the match of the year," he declared in the interview.

"We’re conscious of its importance and we are determined to acquire a good result in Abuja. The majority of our players are used to the atmosphere at the stadiums in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Nigeria in particular."

Meanwhile, the 1860 Munich player reassured the North African's supporters that their side was not going to rely on their two point advantage in the group, as an excuse not to attack.

He continued, “Going to Nigeria to only obtain a draw would be suicidal. The defense would be weighed on for the entire match and any inattention would cost us dearly.

"Our technical staff are putting together the best game plan to counter the opposition."
