Brazil U-20 coach, Alexandre Gallo, has admitted he is wary of the threat posed by Nigeria ahead of the two sides’ World Cup clash.
Five time champions Brazil begin their campaign by taking on the African side on June 1 in New Plymouth, New Zealand, before games against Hungary and North Korea.
“Nigeria always cause us problems,” Gallo said. “They’re a strong team, technically good with good players.”
“Hungary have a typically European style – direct football, tall players. North Korea don’t have very technical players, but they close you down a lot, they have speed and counter-attack intensely.”
