Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has warned his players that they would have to be \u201ccautious and clinical\u201d when they take on Algeria on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Nigeria will be facing the Desert Foxes in an Africa Cup of Nations semi-final at the Cairo International Stadium.<\/p>\n

Rohr, speaking at a pre-match conference on Saturday, admitted that the North Africans have improved as the tournament reached its business end.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlgeria have improved with each game and now are very balanced tactically.<\/p>\n

\u201cI trust my players and just as against South Africa and Cameroon I hope we can win. But we must be cautious and clinical with any chances we get,\u201d Rohr said.<\/p>\n

He also insisted that Nigeria don\u2019t have an advantage over Algeria, despite playing their quarter-final tie a day earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth teams have the same advantage inspite of the extra day rest we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Algeria team have very good players with many playing in France.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a solid side and I have some friends there, but tomorrow will be about winning and I hope we can win,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
