Eagles coach John Obuh has cautioned against any panicky measures after
his team lost all three games at the Cape Town International Challenge.
Nigeria U-20s lost 3-2 to arch-rivals
Ghana and 1-0 to both Argentina and hosts South Africa to crash out of
the biennial invitational tournament.
“We are all very disappointed that we
did not do well at the tournament, but it is also an eye-opening
experience for us as we know we now have a lot of work ahead of us as we
rebuild the team for the challenges ahead,” said Obuh.
“We had less than three weeks to really
coach these players and this competition has clearly shown that we all
need to work a lot harder, rather than panic to salvage the situation.”
He added, “There were a lot of
improvements by the team as we progressed and so we should still hope we
will rise to the occasion when it matters most.
“I have not lost belief in what I can do despite the difficulties.”
