Nigeria under 20 assistant coach, Nduka Ugbade, yesterday reiterated his believe in the possibility on Nigeria winning a first FIFA U-20- World Cup in her history.
Nigerian is placed in a group that consists previous winner Brazil, North Korea and Hungary in group E of the World youth Championship to be held in New Zealand. Ugbade while speaking to newsmen said he believes Nigeria can break her jinx at the mundial and lift the trophy
“We can win it especially seeing as we haven’t won it before. This is a very good opportunity for us and we should take advantage of it.
“We have done well in this competition in the past, but we never won it. Maybe this is our chance to do it and I believe we have the right materials for the job.”
Nigeria is yet to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup despite coming close on several occasions, but it is believed in several quarters that this is the team to finally lift the trophy, and Ugbade seems to firmly believe in the possibility.
“We have done a lot with these boys and we hope it bears fruit this time. The U-20 World Cup will be different from the U17 World Cup and we must work towards getting to the level required and with the players understanding the information and science that governs the game. He said.
