AFCON U17: We Won't Underrate Our Opponents - Amoo
By Sampson Adedeji
Head coach of Nigeria's Golden Eaglets, Fatai Amoo, has said that his boys won't underrate any of their group opponents in the upcoming U17 African Cup Of Nations in Morocco, BSNSports.com.ng reports.
The draw for the competition was conducted on Wednesday afternoon and Nigeria was placed in group B alongside Algeria, Tanzania and Congo.
Amoo while reacting to the groupings said they would rather work harder to ensure qualification for the next round of the tournament.
"With the draw, you can never underrate any country given the development that has come over the years and there no minnows as far as game of football is concerned, every country is moving forward and I think we have to work harder to see our team coming as one of the qualifier in that group
"I can't say that Nigeria group is easy, I'm a professional coach and I know that if you underrate your opponent you will begin to lose touch.
"We don't want to underrate any team but instead we are going to work harder and qualify for the next round of the competition," he said.
The competition is slated for Morocco starting from 13th of March to 30th.
