Eaglets Tackle Argentina At AFA Centre by EbukaLive(m): 9:33am On Oct 06, 2015 |
Nigeria's U-17 side, Golden Eaglets, will on
Tuesday have their work cut out when
they tackle their Argentine counterparts in a
friendly match at the Argentina Football
Association (AFA) Training Centre in Ezeiza,
Buenos Aires.
The match, which is part of
the team's preparation towards the FIFA U-17
World Cup Chile 2015, will kick off at 3:30
pm local time (7:30pm Nigerian time).
In a related development, Golden
Eaglets' assistant coach, Kabiru Baleria, has yet
again heaped plaudits on the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) over its choice of Buenos Aires
Football (BAF) as the training
camp for the national U-17 team ahead of U-17
World Cup finals.
The Emmanuel Amuneke -led squad has
spent few days at the idyllic BAF complex owned
by formerArgentine
international, Matias Almeyda and Baleria said
the quiet environment has added value to the
team's preparation, even as players battle
for competition.
"It is nice we are here for our preparation
towards the World Cup in Chile," said Baleria, a
former Nigerian International " The Eaglets are
happy and you can see the excitement on their
faces since we arrived here in Buenos Aires."
The Golden Eaglets have been training twice
daily since arriving on Friday and the technical
crew is delighted at the keen competition in
camp.
Coach Amuneke praised the intensity of the
training and demanded further commitment from
the players, adding that much
was being expected from the team in Chile.
"I'm happy with the intensity of the training but
we can get better," Amuneke said on Monday."
We have to keep working hard in the coming
days because we have few days before our first
match at the World Cup.”
NFF’s Assistant Director (Technical) Siji
Lagunju, who is with the Eaglets in Buenos Aires,
said he was impressed with the quality of
training as well as the response of the players.
He is also of the view that the players would in
due time be well attuned to the demands of
the technical crew. |
