Yemi Tella (NGA), Nigeria coach
"It was a very good match and the two teams produced some very attractive football. We're going to try to continue in this direction and even improve our football in our upcoming games. I can't say yet if France are the hardest opponent in this group and I'll have to wait until we've faced the other two to have a proper idea."
