General Secretary of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Mohammed Sanusi\u00a0on Wednesday<\/span><\/span> visited the Golden Eaglets at their Katsina\u00a0Motel camp in Katsina, with a message of goodwill and support from
\nthe NFF Executive Committee, as the team continues preparations for this year’s FIFA U-17 World Cup finals in Chile.<\/p>\n

Also on hand to encourage the team were NFF Board Members, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau and Alhaji Ahmed\u00a0Yusuf Fresh. Speaking to players and\u00a0officials just before dinner, Sanusi harped on the team’s discipline while\u00a0commending the technical and back-room staff for their commitment to\u00a0the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bring greetings to you on behalf of the NFF board led by the President, Mr.\u00a0Amaju Pinnick and we have no doubt you would enjoy the best of\u00a0hospitality here in Katsina,” began Sanusi. “But I want to remind you\u00a0that without discipline, you cannot go far in your career and give\u00a0your best.”<\/p>\n

Speaking further, he said the NFF has implicit confidence in the\u00a0ability of the technical crew in picking\u00a0 \u00a0the best squad to represent\u00a0the country in Chile, explaining to the players to give their level\u00a0best.<\/p>\n

“I want you to know that no coach would overlook a good player and no\u00a0coach wants to lose, so it is now left for you to do your best,” he\u00a0said.”The officials you have with you are responsible and diligent persons because while in Niger Republic for the Africa Championship, I saw\u00a0the kind of good job they did with the team and I believe they will\u00a0be fair to all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coach Emmanuel Amuneke, who gave vote of thanks, said the Golden\u00a0Eaglets would give a good account of themselves in Chile, adding that\u00a0team selection had always been done without fear or favour.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Golden Eaglets continued their countdown to the FIFA<\/a> U-17\u00a0World Cup with a double-header friendly match against a selected\u00a0Katsina State U-17 side on Wednesday<\/span><\/span> and Thursday<\/span><\/span> at the Karkanda\u00a0Stadium.<\/p>\n

In the first game, Victor Osimhen and Funshado Bamigboye secured the\u00a0goals for the Golden Eaglets but chances were few on Thursday<\/span><\/span> as both\u00a0sides settled for a 1-1 draw after Chinedu Madueke\u2019s opener for the\u00a0Golden Eaglets in the 60th minute was cancelled out by Muntari\u00a0Abdullahi in the 82nd minute.<\/p>\n

Veteran Coach Aminu Musa, who was in charge of the Katsina side, was\u00a0full of praises for both teams, advising the Golden Eaglets\u2019 technical\u00a0crew to improve on the team\u2019s scoring ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two teams have done well in these two matches and I\u2019m quite\u00a0impressed with the Golden Eaglets because they were very fit,\u201d said\u00a0Musa who has some 25 years experience under his belt. \u201cThe Golden Eaglets\u00a0look well trained but they need to work more on their scoring\u00a0abilities because they created some chances against us and failed to\u00a0score them.\u201d<\/p>\n
