Olumide Akofe has said that the Golden Eaglets will do well at
the Fifa U-17 World Championship in the United Arab Emirates.
The defensive midfielder, who did not make the final cut after the
Eaglets training tour in the United Arab Emirates, believes no team can
stop the free-scoring Nigerians.
“I know my colleagues will beat Mexico silly and go ahead to win the
title. The team is very strong and mentally fit for this challenge. I
don’t see any country posing a threat to our ambition because after we
failed to win the Africa Cadet championship, the coaches were not happy
with us and I think this is a better platform for the Eaglets to show
their class,” Akofe told Goal.
Commenting on his inability to make the coach Garba Manu’s final
team, the Team 360 FC of Lagos prodigy confessed he has no ill-feelings
because the country’s prestige was at stake. He also thanked the
coaching crew for giving him a chance to show his abilities.
“I feel very happy being given the chance to prove my worth and I
must confess it has been a great learning experience for me which will
help me move on in my football career. I want to thank my coaches for
allowing me to embark on the training tour and I can only wish them the
best of luck,” concluded Akofe who plans on moving to Europe
