Croatian midfielder, Luka Modric has described Nigeria as the best team in Africa despite FIFA ranking.


He also revealed how his side will approach the game.

The Super Eagles will clash with Croatia in a Group D match on Saturday at Kaliningrad.


Croatia are ranked higher than Nigeria in the monthly FIFA Rankings as they are 20th while Nigeria are placed in the 48th position.

The midfielder was asked about it when he attended the pre-match conference ahead of the game and the Real Madrid ace was quick to play down the significance of the FIFA Rankings.

He said, “I don’t think we are favourites going into tomorrow’s game because the first game in every tournament is usually very difficult. The gap in the rankings doesn’t concern us a team because everybody knows that Nigeria are a quality side.


Perhaps the best in Africa”, Modric said.

” They like to play with pace, speed and strength and that is something we have to deal with in tomorrow’s game and not what is on the FIFA Rankings. We’ll play our game using our quality against a solid team in Nigeria, “ he concluded.
