The likes of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Akor Adams, and Alex Iwobi have all impressed in Morocco.
Despite Nigeria’s attacking prowess, Petković believed his side will carry the day.
“The most important thing is the state of mind. It all starts from there, and from that point of view, we are irreproachable. We have the reliability and the quality,” Petković told reporters in Marrakech.
“Tomorrow, we need to be just as good defensively as offensively. That will be paramount. All the details will matter against Nigeria. Nothing should be left to chance. We have the quality. We believe in ourselves and we just have to play a big game.”
