Former Chelsea and England youth-team goalkeeper Daniel Jinadu was delighted after the training session and revealed that the coaches wanted to fix the individual and collective mistakes made by the players during their warm up games.

''I feel like the training today was quite good, we had analysis session yesterday about what we could have done better against Japan,'' Jinadu, who plays for West Ham U18s, said on Tuesday after training.

''In today's training session, we worked on how the team should press together, the team should keep our shape.

''Also the goalkeepers' training today was very good, we worked on how I could have done better on the goal that we conceded.

''We worked on making sure that we dive forward to curve the ball, so today was very good.''

The Golden Eaglets will open group play against Hungary on October 26 at the Estádio Olímpico, Goiânia.
