WAFU U17: Lack Of Exposure Affects Golden Eaglets In Togo - Fatai Amoo

  WAFU U17: Lack Of Exposure Affects Golden Eaglets In Togo - Fatai Amoo By Sampson Adedeji Head coach of the Nigeria's Golden Eaglets, Fatai Amoo, has blamed his wards failure to lift the WAFU Cup title in Togo on lack of exposure, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The five-time world champions secured only a win in 4 matches at the just concluded U17 West Africa Football Union competition in Togo. Despite securing a qualification ticket to U17 African Cup Of Nations, millions of the country's football followers believed the team performed poorly at the tournament. Amoo, while speaking to Guardian correspondent, said lack of exposure, anxiety and stagefright were responsible for the poor performance of the team. “Stagefright, anxiety, and lack of exposure affected the Eaglets in Togo. The boys allowed the pressure of meeting teams from other parts of Africa to overwhelm them. Based on the experience they got in Togo, I believe the boys have the prospect to shine in Morocco. “The players I took to Togo were good, although their performance has exposed lapses, which will be corrected as the team progresses. "At this point, I will not say I will inject new players to beef up the Eaglets, time will tell if such a move would be necessary,” he told Guardian. The next assignment of the team is U17 African Cup Of Nations slated for Morocco later in the year.
