Flying Eagles’ Coach Bosso Confident in Upsetting Argentina in U20 World Cup Clash.
San Juan, May 31, 2023 – As the FIFA U20 World Cup enters its Round of 16 stage, all eyes are on tonight’s highly anticipated match between Nigeria’s Flying Eagles and hosts Argentina. Ladan Bosso, the head coach of the Nigerian team, exudes confidence and believes his wards have what it takes to upset the much-fancied six-time champions.
Bosso, in a matter-of-fact manner, asserted that his team would not be intimidated by the physicality of their opponents or the electric atmosphere expected at the venue. Despite Argentina’s formidable record in the group stage, where they won all three matches against Uzbekistan, Guatemala, and New Zealand, scoring an impressive 10 goals while conceding only one, Bosso remains undeterred.
The Flying Eagles had a promising start to the tournament, triumphing in their first two matches, including an impressive victory over Italy, a team that had garnered early praise. However, they suffered a setback in their final group stage encounter against Brazil, leading some bookmakers to question their chances against the formidable home team.
In response to doubters, Bosso stated, “This is the World Cup, and it is wrong to underestimate any team.” He highlighted the fact that his team won two out of three matches and finished with the same number of points as Brazil and Italy in their group. Bosso firmly believes that his Africa Cup of Nations bronze medallists are no pushovers in this campaign.
Anticipation is building as the clash with Argentina looms. Bosso assured that his team would enter the field with determination, stating, “We will go in there and dig our feet into the ground.” Both Nigeria and Argentina are vying for a place in the quarterfinals, ensuring an enthralling encounter is on the horizon.
In other U20 World Cup news, the United States became the first team to secure their spot in the quarterfinals with a resounding 4-0 victory against New Zealand in Mendoza last night. Their dominant performance sets the bar high for the remaining teams in the tournament.
