MANU GARBA: FRIENDLY VICTORIES MEANS NOTHING


Coach of the Flying Eagles of Nigeria Manu Garba is not getting carried away by the recent spate of victories recorded by the Flying Eagles ahead of the Under-20 World Youth Championship in New Zealand.

Manu Garba lead team have so far scored 14 goals in the three friendly games they have played,conceding twice and sowing traits of a team that is fully ready to take on the rest of the World at the World Youth Championship.

The coach is however not so much in tune with the recent praises that have come the way of the team insisting it counts for nothing if they fail to replicate such feat at the World Youth Championship.

"Good for our confidence level but the victories will mean nothing unless we do same at the World cup proper" He told Mowizsoccer.

On the areas of the team that still needs strengthening, the Under-17 world cup winner stressed his team defence needs fine tuning but the attack also despite scoring 14 times needs to be more clinical in front of goal.

"We missed too many chances in all of the games we play and that is a concern although am happy we creating them, we are a bit lacking one or two things in defence but you can play it down to the fact that we used three different goalkeppers, we will fix up all those areas before the game against Brazil"
