Emmanuel Amuneke Heaps Praise On Effective Golden Eaglets

Coach Emmanuel Amuneke has heaped praise on his offensive players for their ruthlessness in the wake of the Golden Eaglets  5 - 1rout of Chile in a Group A fixture at the ongoing Fifa Under 17 World Cup.

“It is true we were effective up front, but we also knew how to block their passing game, forcing them to play uncomfortably in the midfield,” Emmanuel Amuneke told reporters.

“My players understood the transition game, that is when to attack, when to defend. We also prepared them mentally, it is not easy to play against the host.

“Chile has a god team, but today they lost against the best team. I believe they can qualify for the next round.”

Goals from Samuel Chukwueze (2), Kelechi Nwakali and Victor Osimhen (2) handed Nigeria a comprehensive and impressive win against the South Americans.
