Emmanuel Amuneke Not Getting Carried Away With Golden Eaglets Form
Published: October 13, 2015
Nigeria U17s coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, is refusing to get carried away with his team’s good form going into the World Cup in Chile.
The national team won their two test games at their training camp in Argentina, beating the Albicelestes Under 17s 2 - 1 before their 3 - 1 win against the U-20 side of Racing Club on Monday afternoon.
“We are not getting carried away despite winning our two matches here but we are happy we have achieved part of our objectives of coming to Argentina but we are grateful for the opportunity to be here for our preparation,” Amuneke told thenff.com.
“We have been struggling to adjust to the cold weather since it is colder in Chile.
“The World Cup is a different ball game because all the 24 teams have the chance to win but we are going to Chile with the objective of defending the trophy and we are looking forward to a good tournament. ”
In ten appearances at the Under 17 World Cup, the Golden Eaglets only failed to qualify for the quarter - finals of the competition once, in 2003.
