Chief Coach of Golden Eaglets, John Obuh has said that they had what it takes to beat Argentina today in the final group match of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa stadium, Bauchi.
Speaking with sports journalists shortly before the Eaglets left for Bauchi, Obuh said having seen the Argentines play two matches, he has the antidot to shock them and pick the maximum points at stake to top the group A adding that he has a strategy to stop them
“We did not quite click against the Germans because we had very little knowledge of them and the boys had stage fright but I tell you that after the win over Honduras, confidence has returned and we are raring to go because we have a better knowledge of our opponents.
"The pressure on us to deliver has reduced drastically and we have been able to correct some of the flaws we noticed in the two previous matches of the group adding that the Argentines are good and I have massive respect for them, but my boys are equally good and deserved to be respected too.”
The Argentine is currently leading the table with six maximum points after victories over Germany and Honduras respectively and has already booked their place in the next round of the World Cup. They are seeking to win the cup for the first time after having lost out at the semi final of the championship on three occasion
