Nigeria U17s coach Emmanuel Amuneke has shared his thoughts an impressions on his team&rsquo;s 3 - 0 rout of Brazil in the quarter - final of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup.<br /><br />The former Barcelona winger has praised his wards for playing conservatively in the opening 30 minutes, soaking up the pressure from the South Americans and taking their chances.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is not like we scored three goals and that was it. Before that our side had 15 very good minutes, when they moved the ball around as we knew they could,&rdquo; said Amuneke to fifa.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;You have to give credit to my kids, who were tranquil and kept their cool to deal with the Brazil pressure and then scored at the right time. <br /><br />&ldquo;For them, to beat Brazil is a big confidence boost. We still have a long way to the title, though.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Golden Eaglets have played in the semi - finals of the Fifa Under 17s seven times and have never lost.<br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
