Croatia midfielder, Modric speaks on Super Eagles’ poor results in friendly matchesPublished on June 7, 2018 By Ifreke Inyang

Croatia midfielder, Luka Modric has said that Nigeria cannot be taken lightly despite their poor showing in friendly matches before the 2018 World Cup.

Modric and his team-mates will face the Super Eagles in their opening fixture on June 16.

Nigeria has failed to win in their last four friendly game with defeats against Serbia, England and Czech Republic, while they were forced to a 1-1 draw by visiting Congo DR in a sendforth game in Port Harcourt.

“Nigeria like us have not been having nice results but it doesn’t mean they are a weak side.

“Like most African teams they are unpredictable, so we have to approach our game against them without putting their friendly results in mind,” Modric said in an interview with Croatia TV.

Well consistency is what it takes to win tournaments.

If we won tournaments like the Confed Cup, World Cup, Club World Cup etc. at the very least, performed well time and time again, we would probably be seen as consistent.

Our unpredictability then means we show flashes of brilliance. Of course you could also take it to mean concentration, composure and other personal characteristics, but let us not go there.

We have won more major trophies than Croatia.

The thought of a WISE man, else they will be eaten alive; but still, I think we will beat them - anyway.

Gassing us up for the kill.

Its professionalism. I don't expect him to say anything that will draw unnecessary attention to himself. I expect the Nigerian players or other teams to have similar outlook 7days out. Nothing to see here
