Nigerian players are not better than my players – Seychelles Coach

Seychelles coach, Gavin Jeane says his players are equal to the task to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria regardless of their array of star players in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Victoria.

Jeane, who will be hoping to pick the maximum point against Nigeria, told BBC Sports that his players are better prepared than their Nigerian counterpart in Sunday’s must-win encounter.

”We try to improve as much as possible. Everyone knows the Nigerian team, everyone from Africa, everyone in the world, we know them like we know them,” Gavin Jeanne told BBC’s Debola Adebanjo.

”I watched every possible game of the World Cup, I watched them also but this is not the World Cup, it is different. It’s Seychelles.

”We are not Argentina, we are not Iceland so it’s a completely different game.”
