KEITA VOWED TO TROUBLE NIGERIA IN THE MATCH AGAINST GUINEA
Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has revealed that Guinea
have to change their approach for their second Group B match against Nigeria on
Wednesday, June 26.
The Syli Stars were almost beaten in their opener against
Madagascar but earned a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw after Bordeaux
striker Francois Kamano converted a spot kick in the 66th minute.
Keita was introduced off the bench in the 62nd minute,
his first competitive game since suffering an injury against Barcelona in the
semifinal of the Champions League on May 1.
Guinea's defensive frailties were exposed by Madagascar
and the Liverpool star has insisted that they must avoid making mistakes at the
back in their next game vs Nigeria.
Speaking to reporter after yesterday's
game, Keita said : ''I think we have to play forward and we have to try to play
with aggression.
''When you score, do not accept that the opposing team
equalizes because in this kind of tournament, do not give the opportunity to
the opponent when you lead.''
Nigeria will qualify for the round of 16 of the 2019
Africa Cup of Nations if they beat Guinea on Wednesday.
