Madjer: Bar Alex Iwobi, Nigera are full of bench warmers 

Algeria national team coach, Rabah Madjer has taken a dig at the Nigerian team who his team will be facing on Friday in a dead rubber World Cup 2018 Qualifying tie, tagging the Super Eagles as a team full of bench warmers

Speaking in Algeria, Madjer who was not in charge of the team when they suffered a 3-1 loss to Nigeria in the reverse tie played in Uyo said the Nigerian team has many players who don’t get to play for their European clubs..

” I have studied the Nigerian team, apart from Iwobi, every other player is mostly a substitute for their team in Europe , but that doesn’t mean they will not be at the level to face us”, Madjer said.

” The game against Nigeria is not a friendly match for me, to me it’s the first game of the qualifiers for the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon”.

The team is expected to leave Rabat for Constantine on Thursday and play the match with Algeria on Friday at 8.30pm Algerian and Nigerian time.
