AFCON U-20 against Gambia: My boys won’t disappoint Nigeria, says Bosso
Flying Eagles Coach, Ladan Bosso, has said his wards will do everything to subdue Gambia in one of the semi-final duels of the on-going Under-20 AFCON tournament in Egypt.
The Gambian boys are one of the free scoring sides in the tournament, but the Nigerian coach strongly believes in his team to turn the table against the dreaded side.
“Previous results will not determine what happens in our semi-final match against The Gambia. They have been in great form and my boys have also recovered well and are in their elements. It will be a great match but I believe in my team and we are confident of playing in the Final on Saturday.”
In their four matches so far at the tournament, the Flying Eagles have won three matches and lost one, and have scored four goals and conceded one. On their part, the Young Scorpions have scored a total of nine goals, conceding none.
