Amuneke Fires Up Golden Eaglets Ahead Brazil Clash

Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has advised his charges to step up the tempo when they face Brazil on Friday in their second game at the ongoing 2015 Suwon Continental Cup International Youth (U-17) Football Tournament.

In their opening fixture, the world champions shared the spoils with hosts South Korea but the African Footballer of the Year expects a tougher contest against one of the super - powers of youth football tomorrow.

“I want to commend all of you because there were doubts about what you can do before we came here but we have to be focused especially against Brazil on Friday.

“Of course, Brazil would be a tougher match but that can only be possible if you allow them to play.

“We need power, skill and coordination against Brazil and if you do what is needed, we won’t have much problem on Friday.”

The Golden Eaglets received a massive boost ahead of the game against the South Americans with the arrival of skipper Kelechi Nwakali, who missed the opening game due to a visa hitch.
