U17 AFCON: We Will Keep Information About Eaglets' Group Opponents To Our Chest - Fatai Amoo
By Niyi Busari
Golden Eaglets coach, Fatai Amoo has said that the coaching crew of the team will not reveal the information they have about their group opponents in the upcoming CAF U17 African Cup of Nations slated for Morocco.
The former Shooting Stars of Ibadan coach while speaking with BSN Sports in Abuja said; "On our opponents, we don't want to open up information we have on them. We are working on that area to see that when we face them, it will not be like the first time we are seeing them. Their strength and weakness will be exposed to the players ahead of the game.
Even though the championship kicks off this weekend but Amoo is not sure of the departing date for the competition.
"Only NFF will determine when we are departing for Morocco. We are asking for more support from Nigerians as they've done for us during the WAFU competition. It has not been very easy for us in all that happened but glory be to God for being able to qualify for the AFCON finals in Morocco."
He however affirmed that the team is working tirelessly on their weaknesses in making sure that the players live up to the expectation.
"We have been working on all our weak points that we discovered while in Togo and hopefully we believe the boys will live up to the expectation so that Nigerians will be proud of the team.
The coach who complained about the use of Astro Turf pitch for training before leaving for WAFU competition where they use natural grass pitch for the matches, says the players will adapt when they get to the competition finals in Morocco.
"You have come to see us here and finished our training here (on the Astro turf) we have the last training game to play tomorrow (Sunday) luckily we will play on the grass pitch, believing that the boys are adaptable to any given situation.
The five-time World cup champions are drawn in Group B alongside Tanzania, Algeria and Congo in the this month's U17 AFCON coming up in Morocco.
