EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria can draw inspiration from Senegal for Brazil tie - Babayaro

The former goalkeeper believes the five-time world champions are majorly living on past glory

Former Nigeria goalkeeper Emmanuel Babayaro has described Sunday’s friendly against Brazil as a good test for the Super Eagles.

Babayaro, a member of the Atlanta 1996 gold medal-winning team, however, suggests the Samba Boys are no longer the invincible team they used to be, and Nigeria have a chance of getting a good result against the five-time world champions if they get their acts right on Sunday in Singapore.

“I think it is a good test for the Super Eagles even though I don’t see this present Brazil team as the same as we used to know,” Babayaro told Goal in an exclusive interview

“Since after the World Cup they hosted,I have not seen Brazil do anything quite spectacular but the fact still remains Brazil is Brazil any day and they have quality players like Neymar and the likes in their team, so they would definitely be a good test for our team but we can get a good result against them if we get our acts right.
