Ahead of their opening game in the U-20 FIFA World Cup on Monday night, Norway boss Bjorn Johansen has described the Nigerian side as unpredictable.
He mentioned that his team will not find it easy playing the African giants when they meet at the Estadio Fiscal in Talca.
It will be the first encounter between Nigeria and Norway at the FIFA U20 World Cup.
He noted that the power, pace and direct attacking style of the Nigerian side would pose a problem for his team.
“Nigeria is perhaps the team that has been the most difficult to analyze. They are very unpredictable,” Johansen told the Norwegian Federation’s official website.
“We know that it will be physical and that it will be hard in the duels and that they have a high tempo in their team.”
He added that his side could achieve a good result against the Africans if they managed the game well.
Johansen, however, stressed that his team must learn to adapt quickly on the day to cope with the unpredictability of the Flying Eagles.
