NIGERIA Under 17 coach, Manu Garba says the Golden Eaglets
have perfected all their plans that will see them record victory over European
side, Netherlands on Tuesday in the round of 16 at the ongoing FIFA U17 World Cup
in Brazil.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that the Golden Eaglets maintained
top spot in Group B despite losing 2-1 to Australia their last game. They will
now take on the Oranje, who qualified from Group D as one of the four best
third-placed teams, for a place in the last eight of the cadet championship.
Garba revealed that after watching and reviewing video of
their last match against the Australians, all the mistakes noticed have been
corrected as he expects the striker to convert their scoring chances this time
around.
“In the match against Australia, though we lost, the
players have been shown the video of the match and a critical analysis was made
to show them their mistakes and those mistakes were corrected both visually and
on training ground.
“The positive thing was we had 34 attempts and 11 were on
target and have also worked on composure in front of goal and precision. The
Dutch system of play is a bit similar to the Nigerian one but we will try as
much as possible to very well organized and keeping good shape in defense when
we are out of possession and most importantly to deny them space and time to
play.
“On a final note we have told the players to concentrate,
be committed, confident and composed throughout the duration of the match,” said
the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup winning coach.
