By Joseph
The assistant coach of the Golden Eaglets, Nduka Ugbade has said that
the players would need to be groomed emotionally and psychologically
ahead of the upcoming CAF Under-17 Nations Cup in 2019.
Ugbade, told newsmen in Ibadan that the players needed some rest to
calm their nerves, after qualifying for the competition in Tanzania.
He said this would also help correct some of the errors made during
the qualifier. “The lapses we observed at the qualifiers must all be
worked on, they must also be ready emotionally, physiologically and
some other situations that we will look into’’, he said.
He explained, “Their bodies need to rest so as to avoid unpleasant situations’’.
The former captain of the 1985 Golden Eaglets that won the maiden U-17
trophy in China, said that once they had rested, then they would start
to think about the preparation for Tanzania.
“The plan is to have a formidable team at the competition that can
match any team. We still have a whole lot of work to do on the
players”, he concluded.
