In a recent interview, Nasser Al-Hadhiri, the coach of the Libyan national football team, addressed the mounting challenges his squad faces as they prepare for their upcoming match against Nigeria. With injuries to key players and issues such as boycotts affecting the team, local media have labeled this endeavor as a “near-impossible mission.”
Reflecting on the daunting task ahead, Al-Hadhiri acknowledged the strength of the Nigerian team, which boasts formidable players like Ademola Lookman and Victor Boniface. “The team’s mission against Nigeria seems almost impossible,” he said, as noted in an editorial by Akhbarlibya24.
Despite these hurdles, Al-Hadhiri remains hopeful. “We understand that winning against Nigeria is a tough challenge,” he shared. “However, our focus is on securing a draw, which would not only be a positive outcome for us but also help restore our hopes of qualifying.”
