Liverpool and Senegalese Lions forward, Sadio Mane has described Super Eagles of Nigeria as the most dreaded team in Africa.
When asked about the chances of any African team going along as the final of the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, the Liverpool marksman said there is a current rise of new super power in African football but picked Nigeria as one team many teams dread on the continent.
Mane said a lot of teams know about the danger of facing the senior national team of Nigeria.
“At the last AFCON we are unlucky to have lost in the final. In Africa we have many new teams springing up to challenge the dominant ones. It is a trend that I have observed in the past few years and It shows football is growing in the continent.
“Many teams know the giants and Nigeria plays in a different rather ways most times and many will tell you that meeting them is not the best team but if the need arises you cannot run away from it,” he said.
