Femi Solaja “If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best,” was Austin Jay Jay Okocha’s message to the Flying Eagles as Nigeria battle hosts Argentina
“If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best,” was Austin Jay Jay Okocha’s message to the Flying Eagles as Nigeria battle hosts Argentina in one of the second round fixtures tonight in the ongoing FIFA U20 World Cup in San Juan.
“However, for the team to progress and be the best, you have to beat the best which is the mentality our players will have to apply playing against the host Argentina. We have to fancy our chances to progress into the next stage,” stressed the talented former BBC African Player of the Year winner.“We have nothing to lose as underdogs and we have to put the Argentines under pressure, take our chances very well when they come.
Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi have both left their marks on this tournament in style, with the former claiming the Golden Ball when Argentina won their first title in 1979 while Messi repeated the feat in 2005 winning the Golden Boot.
