Speaking to Football Fans Tribe, Fernandez said he expects Madagascar to put up a fight against the Super Eagles in Uyo.
The Rangers star said, “Look, I am expecting Madagascar to be very strong team and I feel like they are going to have a lot of resilient and energy, that’s something we are going to need to match and show our quality through matching their energy.”
