Nigeria deserves respect says Chicharito

Manchester United and Mexico striker Javier Hernandez says Nigeria deserve respect ahead of their meeting tomorrow.

Both countries meet in an international friendly in Houston, Texas, and the Mexican forward is wary of the threat posed by the African champions

The most important thing is to have a game to prepare for the qualifiers, which we’ll be doing against Nigeria.

“They are African champions and they have many players abroad. The players are always full of running when they play but they have also improved a lot in recent years.

“The game against Nigeria will be very important for us to prepare ourselves. You have to give them due respect knowing well that they too will be using the game to prepare for the World Cup qualification too.”

Kick-off is at 2am Nigeria time.
