Emmanuel Amuneke Singles Out Victor Osimhen For Special Praise

Coach Emmanuel Amuneke has praised the Golden Eaglets and Victor Osimhen in particular after they defeated Australia 6 - 0 to advance to the last eight of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup.

The Nigeria boss fancies his team’s chances of winning the title for the fifth time but is aware that Brazil are one of the favourites too.

“It was a very interesting match. We knew that Australia was a good team because they qualified from a very difficult group, but my players were able to recuperate themselves from the loss against Croatia and regained their level, ”  Amuneke told fifa.com.

“Victor (Osimhen) had a great game, although the philosophy of this team is to play collectively.

“We are candidates to win the title, but so are Brazil. We will work to put up a good fight. ”

The Golden Eaglets will square off against Brazil at the Estadio SausalitoVina Del Mar on Sunday, November 1, starting from 2000 hours Nigerian time.
