U-17 AFCON: Uganda ‘lucky’ against Golden Eaglets – Manu Garba
According to Coach Garba, the Golden Eaglets ought to have scored more than the solitary goal they scored against the Cubs. He also blamed the goal conceded by his team to a moment’s loss of concentration.
The Nigerian coach also expressed his delight that the first task of qualifying for the World Cup has been achieved and now they would have to step up their performance “… I must thank them for not losing in three matches but I think the boys have not reached their form. They are just trying to pick up match by match.
“I must say the semifinal is going to be a different ball game entirely because it is going to be highly tactical. We intend to see whoever we are playing so that we can map out the strategies to make sure we get into the final.”
