Nigeria vs Burundi: Berahino sends strong warning to Super Eagles
Burundi captain, Saido Berahino, has warned Nigeria to expect a tough challenge, when they meet in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations opening game day.Burundi qualified for their maiden AFCON campaign, with an unbeaten record of two wins and four draws, to finish as Group C runners-up behind Mali.
Berahino who is set to make his debut in the continental competition with the Swallows, disclosed that they are not under any pressure against the three-time African champions. “They don’t know us, they probably don’t watch our games, so that releases the pressure on us so we can play without any fear at all.
“That’s what we managed to show in the qualification and that’s why we went through the whole qualification unbeaten. “We are not going to let them walk all over us; we will stand up like we did qualifying and let the best team win,” Burundi said, per Reuters.
