Algeria
star, Riyad Mahrez, has said the Super Eagles will be up there with Africa's
best in two years if the core of the team is kept together.
Mahrez, speaking with SportingLife, called on the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) and other football stakeholders, to continue to
support the team.
The Manchester City winger struck a heartbreaking 94th-minute
goal, as his country beat the Eagles 2-1 in the semi-final of the 2019 Africa
Cup of Nations.
But Mahrez believes he saw potential in Gernot Rohr's men, that
can see them go on to become one of the best.
"In my mind, I was just thinking to score.
"It was a very good free-kick for me as a left-footer. I
think we deserve to win and we are very happy.
"Nigeria team is very good and very strong too. They will
be better in the next two years or so if they are given more chance. They will
be up there again," Mahrez said.
