Bosnia coach Susic: We must beat Nigeria to qualify



The Bosnian national team coach believes the second ticket in 2014 Fifa World Cup Group F lies between his side and the Super Eagles
Safet Susic has claimed that Bosnia-Herzegovina will have to beat the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify alongside Argentina in Group F of the 2014 World Cup.
The debutants will have their hands full in Brazil as they have been handed tough oppositions in Argentina, Nigeria and Iran. Even at this, he fancies his side’s chance of booking a place in the round of 16.
“There’s one huge side who will undoubtedly finish first, Nigeria who always get to the World Cup and Iran who are completely unknown to us but finished top in qualifying so are definitely a good team. What’s certain is that we’ll be playing for qualification in the second match against Nigeria,” Susnic told Fifa.com.
He however revealed that his team’s strongest point is the attack where they parade Edin Dzeko who plays for Manchester City.
“I like my team to attack, hold onto the ball and try to out-score the opposition.
Sometimes we do neglect the defensive side of the game a little and concede goals, but we don’t have the resources to play any other way.
“We have some exceptional attackers, so we play to our strengths, but that will certainly pose us a few problems against bigger teams,” he said.
