Ex-international, Mobi Oparaku has sent out warning to the handlers of the Nigeria U17 national team to fix the issue of team cohesion that plagued the team in the opening game.
“Ecuador are underdogs as we’re the giants of the competition, but Ecuador are so prepared and want to make a statement at this World Cup been staged on their continent…
The odds will be against the Eaglets today because the South American side will have the fans support, but we need to prove that we are the most successful team.”
The Nigeria 98′ world cup winner, in a chat with brila.net further adviced the team to play like they did in the second half of their 4-2 win against Hungary to avoid conceding also expressing his satisfaction with the talent and prospects in the Eaglets squad precisely the midfielders.
” Understanding and team cohesion will help Nigeria beat Ecuador, though the kids will need to start with the second half display so they don’t have difficulties scoring and protecting our goalkeeper, we’ve identified we can score goals so we should go all out and score more than 3 goals.”
