Ladan Bosso, former chief coach of the Flying Eagles is very optimistic that the current Aliyu Zubairu- led team will excel at the WAFU B U20 tournament, which kicks off on Thurday, reports www.totorinews.com
On Friday, the Flying Eagles will file out against the Young Stallions of Burkina Faso in their opening game in Group B and Bosso said that the first game of the team is a must – win for Zubairu and the players.
“Aliyu Zubairu is a sound coach. He is the new coach of the Flying Eagles, but he is not new in Nigerian football circle. I believe that Nigeria will flourish under him in Lome, Togo,” Bosso said.
“The first game is very crucial in every tournment, especially for a team like Nigeria. So, the game against Burkina Faso must be taken as a final game. The players must show strong winning mentality to control the game and win the maximum points.
“The players must follow the technical and tactical formations of the coach. I said earlier that Zubairu is a very coach. It is up to the players to do what is needed on the pitch in order to win the game.
“The players must play for the coach, play for the country, defend the colours of Nigeria and ensure that they leave the pitch victorious against Burkina Faso,” he said.
