Former Djibouti coach Julien Mette says the Super Eagles are superior to Morocco ahead of Wednesday’s semi-final clash in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The three-time AFCON champions edged Algeria 2-0 in a dominant display in the quarter-final, while Morocco defeated the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon 2-0 to reach this stage.
Speaking with Foot RMC, Mette stated that the Super Eagles are a well-structured team that are capable of killing any team from the break and set pieces.

He also faulted the host dependency on Ibrahim Diaz for goals and creativity in the attack.
“Offensively, Nigeria is superior to Morocco. On the Moroccan side, there’s Brahim Diaz emerging, but if he goes out…
“Nigeria is capable of doing everything, killing you on the break, in structured attack, on set pieces.”

I hope the SE don’t get carried away by the 2:0 victory over Algeria and let complacency as well as false sense of superiority over Morocco creep into dia heads. I hear pipo already saying 9ja will beat dem easily (which i hope is d case) but d fact remains Morocco has gine how many games without defeat, they were semi finalist at d last worldcup, similarly to 9ja they play a good brand of football, they have players playing in top leagues in Europe, so i really don’t see where the false sense of superiority is coming from. I hope and pray these players don’t read social media and think d game will be an easy bictory (which i prrsonally wish for), but it will most likely be anytin but easy for 9ja. Don’t 4get we r not only playing against the host, top ranked team in africa, unbeaten thru-out the worldcup and afcon plus we are playing against the referee and d crowd pressure as well. I personally is cautiously optimistic as d game can truly go either way even tjough obviously i want 9ja to carry d day. Chelle please do like u always do and block d noise, focus on ur game project (like u always say), focus on d mentality of d players not what some comedians are saying online. Just my tot.
