Former AC Milan and Inter Milan defender Taribo West has
urged the Super Eagles to treat upcoming friendly with Algeria and
Tunisia with seriousness.
The three-time African champions will lock horns with the North
African rivals for their time since meeting at the 2019 African Cup
of Nations in Egypt.
While Super Eagles will have the chance to avenge their 2019
African cup of Nations semi-final defeat when they meet Algeria on
October 13 in Austria, The Gernot Rohr side will be aiming to
maintain their dominance over the Tunisian four days later at the
same venue.
While speaking with Le Buteur ahead of both matches, Taribo West
heaped praises on the organizers and he added that the encounter
will be good tests for the Super Eagles.
“Yes, of course, I would say it is a very good thing to organize
this friendly match. Both teams had a great African Cup and now, it
is time to review things in each squad.

semi-finals, it is important to see each other in a friendly match.
They are very close and have great players.”

Algeria, but the most important thing is to know how to learn from
a meeting like this. We will see, it will be a friendly match.

meeting for the two teams,” he said.
