Golden Eaglets’ gaffer Emmanuel Amuneke has warned the Dream Team VI Chief Coach, Samson Siasia, to beware of the antics of Gabon and also prepare well for their All African Games qualification match slated for February, 2015.
The former Super Eagles forward said that his warning to the Siasia-led team was based on his experience when he led the Golden Eaglets to Gabon in an African qualifying match where the team faced all kinds of humiliation including being denied entry to Gabon as a result of Nigeria being tagged an ‘Ebola’ country.
The Golden Eaglets lost the first leg 2-1 before coming back to the U.J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar, to maul Gabon 5-0 in the return leg and thereby qualify for the finals of the 2015 U-17 African Championship slated for Niger.
“My advice to Samson (Siasia) and his team is to prepare very well for Gabon as well as other qualifying matches that the team would be playing in the qualification for the All Africa Games and the 2016 Olympics holding in Brazil.
“As regards the Gabon match, the team should be ready for antics that they may face against the team most especially in Libreville or any other place in Gabon. If the team plays well on the pitch and gets the result needed, any other thing as regards antics may be immaterial.
“I sincerely believe in the ability of Siasia as an experienced coach to lead his team to success in their qualification matches,” Chief Coach, Amuneke disclosed.
