U17 World Cup: Nigeria need to work on their finishing and defending – Obuh

Ahead of Tuesday's Round of 16 fixture, the former U17 coach advised Manu Garba's boys on how to approach the game against their European opponents

Former Nigeria U17 coach John Obuh has urged the Golden Eaglets to improve on their finishing and defending when they take on the Netherlands on Tuesday.

The five-time world champions are scheduled to lock horns against the European nation in the Round of 16 of the Fifa U-17 World Cup in Brazil.

Despite their 2-1 loss to Australia last Friday, Manu Garba’s boys finished as Group B winners with six points after three games, but the Akwa United manager has pointed out two technical faults in the team.
