Golden Eaglets gaffer, Nduka Ugbade is expected to work with match footage as well as fresh info on Nigeria’s opponents in Wednesday’s clash, Burkina Faso. iwitnesslive.com can exclusively report.
Still basking in the euphoria of his team’s qualifications for the knockout stage of the competition, word was rife in Algiers that the former Super Eagles left-full back is armed to the teeth with well-detailed information on their West African neighbors.
Meanwhile, Ugbade maintained that the kids to Morocco were a blessing in disguise.
“The loss to Morocco was also a good lesson for us. When you’re at a championship, you need a winning mentality, but also a match that provides good lessons along the way. Both factors make for a very strong and ready squad.”
“We worked a bit in training and we did some corrections. We realized that it was purely psychological and we talked to the players and we saw an improvement today. We might have conceded two but I am glad we scored three,” he added.
