Falconets get set for World Cup qualifier against South Africa
Head Coach of the Falconets, Peter
Dedevbo, has expressed the players’
readiness to overcome South Africa in
the return leg of the U-20 FIFA World
Cup qualifier on Nov. 7.
Dedevbo said on Tuesday in Abuja after
the team’s morning training session at
the National Stadium.
“As you can see we are on the verge of
finalising our preparations. We are
ready.
“We have intensified our preparations
right from the day after our match
against South Africa here (in Nigeria).
So, we are ready.
“Generally, we are working on every
department, the goalkeeping, the
defence, the midfield and the attack. So
far, we have done a very good job on the
team.
“So, if South Africa can come here and
score one against us, we can go to South
Africa and score two against them.’’
The Falconets had won the first leg
encounter 2-1 on Oct. 24 in Abuja.
Nigeria will qualify for the 2016 World
Cup scheduled to hold in Papua New
Guinea if it wins the Nov. 7 encounter on
aggregate points.
The winner of the other encounter
between Ethiopia and Ghana on
aggregate points is expected to qualify to
represent Africa at the World Cup in
Papua New Guinea
NAN recalls that Nigeria thrashed Liberia
14-1 on aggregate in the first round and
defeated DR Congo 4-1 on aggregate in
the second round of the qualifying
series.
