We will put up a good fight against Brazil – Amuneke

Coach of the Nigerian Under 17 team the Golden Eaglet, Emmanuel Amuneke, has said that his team will work hard to defeat the Brazilian team in their quarter final match which is coming up on Sunday.

Emmanuel Amuneke made this known after his team defeated Australia 6 – 0 this morning in Chile.

“It was a very interesting match. We knew that Australia was a good team because they qualified from a very difficult group, but my players were able to recuperate themselves from the loss against Croatia and regained their level. Victor (Osimhen) had a great game, although the philosophy of this team is to play collectively. We are candidates to win the title, but so are Brazil. We will work to put up a good fight,” Emmanuel Amuneke, Nigeria coach.​

Tony Vidmar Australia coach.

“We played a big part in this result. In the previous matches we managed to put a high pressure on our rivals, that was key today. We had the possession, but did not do anything with it. Our lines began to separate between each other and with spaces, they are lethal. I hope these kids can take the good things out of these three weeks and improve from there. I know that myself, as a coach, took positive things in spite of today’s game,” Tony Vidmar, Australia coach.
