Eaglets’ll be turbo-charged against Mexico

Coach Manu Garba said yesterday that the
Golden Eaglets will be turbo-charged to defeat
Mexico in Friday's final of the FIFA U-17 World
Cup in Abu Dhabi.
Garba last night saw his charges steam-roll
their way to the final of the tournament, with
a comprehensive 3-0 bashing of Sweden at the
Rashid Stadium in Dubau and speaking at the
post-match conference, a jubilant coach said
he was in seventh heaven to see his troops
damage their Scandinavians, who he praised
for reaching this stage of the tournament.

While also hailing Mexico for reaching the final
after suffering a 6-0 opening defeat against the
Eaglets, Garba said he was confident that his
troops would make it a double against the
North American side, who have ousted Brazil
and Uruguay to reach the summit.
"Sweden tried but we showed our quality. I
commend my players for achieving this victory
and hope for a similar performance against
Mexico, who I commend for getting to this
stage.
They have done well and earned their place in
the final but my team are turbo-charged for
the final.
"We have come this far, playing well and it is
time for God to crown our efforts with the Cup
on Friday."
