Portugal coach, Roberto Martinez gives verdict on friendly match against Nigeria

Portugal coach, Roberto Martinez, has given his verdict on his side’s friendly match against Nigeria on Wednesday night.

Martinez believes the match against Nigeria will be a good test for Portugal ahead of their World Cup opener against DR Congo on June 17.

He stated this while speaking to reporters during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

“We have an opportunity to work on aspects that are similar to what we’ll face against Congo,” Martinez said.

“It’s a different African side [Nigeria]. It will be a demanding opponent, who will be a test to prepare our squad.”

Portugal heads to the game after defeating Chile 2-1 in their last friendly match.

Nigeria, on the other hand, played a 2-2 with Poland a few days ago.
