Emmanuel Amuneke Not Under Pressure To Win Fifth World Cup
Published: September 18, 2015
Golden Eaglets coach Emmanuel Amuneke is unfazed by the defending champions tag ahead of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup next month and has stressed that he is not under pressure to deliver.
Looking back at a glorious career, the creator represented Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon and played for Nigeria at the World Cup and African Cup of Nations, so he is used to performing at a high level.
“I’m not under any pressure but I have the sense of direction that we are the defending champions at this level,” Amuneke told thenff.com.
“I don’t want us to dwell so much on that. We keep working quietly and hard; when the time comes, we shall be ready. ”
He added : “We must psyche ourselves that we can do it, but I’m not under any pressure. I think I’ve always been used to pressure, previously as a player and now as a coach.
“I believe in hard work and I don’t think hard work disappoints anyone.”
As part of their preparations for the tournament which they have won four times, the Golden Eaglets finished third at the Suwon Tournament in Korea.
