Nigeria U17 Coach : Flamingoes Will Be Better Next Time
Nigeria U17 coach Nikyu Bala was not in tears after his team crashed out of the 2016 FIFA U17 Women’ s World Cup and has blamed it on inexperience. <br /><br />The Flamingoes were sent packing from the ongoing tournament in Jordan after they were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by one of the superpowers of women football, North Korea, on Saturday. <br /><br /><span><span><span><span><span><span>“In football you must have a winner and a loser and, in the spirit of the game, if you lose, you take it. Football is like that. If you conceded goals, you conceded goals,</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>” Bala told fifa.com in his post match comments. <br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>“</span></span></span></span></span></span>The journey has been cut short for many teams. Many teams are leaving Jordan by Monday. For us, it</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>’s not about feeling bad. We have taken part in the World Cup and that is a wonderful experience. <br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>“</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>For most of the players, this was a new experience for them. A new and great experience. Next time, they can be better. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span>”<br /><br />Nigeria conceded four goals in three matches - against Brazil and North Korea- and failed to score a single goal in their group games. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br /></span></span></span>
