Samson Siasia has urged his Nigeria U-23 side to be cautious against Algeria today to ensure they do not lose any further ground in Olympics 2016 qualifying tournament.
The Dream Team have conceded four goals in two games and with four points they are in the mix of qualification and elimination from the 2015 African U23 Championship semi-final in Senegal and must not lose to the Fennec Foxes in their last group game.
Siasia said: “We did not play in the second half and we cannot continue like this, if we want to go to the Olympics.
“We have to be careful. We tend to lose concentration in the second half and have to fix it.
“It was the case in the first game against Mali and the same thing happened against Egypt. It is no longer funny.
“It will be a tough battle against Algeria, and we have to be careful about the North African sides, they attack left and right,” he concluded.
Algeria sit atop Group B with a superior goals difference and will hope to avenge their 4-1 defeat to Nigeria at the 2011 edition when they face the Dream Team VI at the Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor, Dakar.
