The match which is billed
fortheearly hours
of Thursday morning going by past records, is expected to be an easy ride for Nigeria but Coach Emmanuel Amuneke cannot afford such luxury as his boys must be ready to assert themselves in the game and come out victorious. The Golden Eaglets have
won all five of the two teams’ previous meetings at FIFA U-17 World Cups, scoring 12 goals along the way while conceding just two. Nigeria defeated the Joeys 2-1 when the two sides last faced each other in 2003.
“We have to keep working hard and prepare our players physically and psychologically for the match against Australia especially after losing our last group match to Croatia. We have to let the players realize that the stage we are in now is crucial and it needs high level of concentration from them. We would evaluate our players and see their state of mind but hopefully, all of them would be ready to play on Wednesday,” Amuneke assured.
