Meanwhile, Senegal star Sadio Mane says helping Liverpool win the Champions Leaguewas special, but his “absolute dream” is parading the Africa Cup of Nations trophy through the streets of Dakar. The west African team known as the Teranga Lions are two victories away from fulfilling the dream of their 27-year-old talisman, starting with a semi-final against Tunisia in Egypt Sunday. “Going to Dakar with the trophy would be extraordinary,” said Mane, who shared the Premier League Golden Boot award last season with fellow Africans Mohamed Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. “My absolute dream is to help Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations -- that would surpass even what I achieved with Liverpool in the Champions League. “We have to accept being among the favourites and many people are assuming we will play Algeria in the final,” said the scorer of three goals so far in the tournament. |

Home Analysis Match Analysis Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Algeria vs Nigeria – tactical preview The last four of the Africa cup of nations pits Nigeria against Algeria. The desert foxes of Algeria are the highest goal scorers in the competition with 10 goals, and the yet unbeaten side only conceded their first goal against Ivory Coast in the quarterfinal. Nigeria, meanwhile, are less swashbuckling but do know how to win games, losing only to Madagascar after they had qualified from their group. Our tactical analysis charts the progress of both teams and how the game can be won for both sides. Form Nigeria qualified for the semi-finals in a 2-1 win over rivals South Africa in Cairo. The Super Eagles took the lead through Villareal man Samuel Chukwueze, and were unlucky to concede when video assistant referee-VAR spotted Odion Ighalo’s touch which made Bongani Zungu’s looping header onside. The Nigerians found an 89th-minute winner from a corner kick scored by Udinese’s William Troost-Ekong. Algeria came out on top in a pulsating 1-1 draw with Ivory Coast which went to extra time and penalties. Sofiane Feghouli netted the opener before Aston Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia equalized for the Ivorians in the second half, Algeria’s Raïs M’Bolhi saved one of two missed spot kicks. Varying Styles Algeria are intricate in and around the box. With their 4-1-4-1 setup allowing the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Feghouli, Youcef Belaïli and Baghdad Bounedjah to combine with quick movements. Nigeria, pertinently, have a strong defensive core that includes midfielders Wilfred Ndidi, Peter Etebo and the back four. Nigeria have shown incredible fighting spirit so far at this tournament such that they haven’t played at their best but keep winning. Their aerial prowess (17 aerials won per game) has been important for them, and they would look to utilise it against the Algerians (13.4 aerials per game). With diagonal long passes from their defence into pacy and tricky wingers, Nigeria isolate the full-backs and hit on the counter. Central defenders Omeruo (5.5 long passes per game) and Troost-Ekong (4. ![]() Advantage Nigeria? Nigeria’s conservative style and the extra 24 hours preparation having played on Wednesday night might prove vital. We also have to take into account Algeria’s all-action style and those extra thirty minutes and penalties in their quarterfinal clash on Thursday night. Nigeria also have the psychological advantage having beaten the North Africans in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, although the return leg ended one-all with Nigeria already qualified, Algeria were awarded a three-nil win due to Nigeria fielding a suspended player. Adam Ounas, however, must have other ideas, he has three goals and one assist in only 121 minutes and the Super Eagles should be wary of the Napoli man. Mahrez is also dangerous as ever for Algeria having already netted two goals, he and striker Bounedjah would hope to get at Nigeria as much as possible with Islam Slimani also on the bench. Conclusion It would take a huge effort to knockout this rampant Algeria side, thus Nigeria need to bring their A game. Their hopes rest on the shoulders of their all-important defence, as well as Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa and Ighalo going forward. Algeria must be hoping to dispatch the Super Eagles early but that could just play into Nigeria’s smart play. However the outcome, both teams can be proud of their AFCON run and the winner would take that momentum into the final https://footballbh.net/2019/07/13/africa-cup-of-nations-2019-algeria-vs-nigeria-tactical-analysis-tactics/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

CODE 8:11 Says: Nigeria 2:1 Algeria. Nigeria should win IF AND ONLY IF, we convert our chances to goals. We can’t afford to miss many chances like what we’ve been doing. Algeria doesn’t really know how to prepare for us because of Chukwueze and Musa attacks coming from two ways. Our #10 must pair with Ighalo to score goals, because Ighalo alone will fumble against Algeria: he’s is too flat footed, and sluggish. Algeria are not that great. Let’s stop giving them unearned credits: they’ve been playing against poor Africans countries, that’s all. Algeria not like Argentina or Spain, not even Mexico! Respect Algeria, but no need to get panic. Lastly, Algerians know how to dive, we should be careful of penalties against us and we should notify the referee about their diving antics early on. Algeria can never play against us the way they played other countries: they’re aware of the danger. We can still intimidate them. And once you’re intimidated, you’ve already lost the battle.

In our last 2 games we tend to score first then sit back to use counter-attacks which have failed twice as our opponents equalized. We might not get away with it if we try it against Algeria. |
