Trabelsi however said past results won’t matter this time around.
“Yes, in the last game there was no real expression. When we play with only organised offense and defense, it decreases the performance of some players. Nigeria are strong offensively and defensively,” Trabelsi was quoted by CAFonline.
“All players will be involved, not only defenders. We focus only on the field; social media or past results will not affect us.
“Hazem is fit and doing better in training. There is no national team without weak points, and we have studied Nigeria’s. To go far, we must beat big teams.”
