The 55-year-old has charged the Flying Eagles to aim for victory when they slug it out against the Americans in Bielsko-Biala
\nFormer Nigeria U20 coach Henry Nwosu has warned the Flying Eagles that USA will be difficult to beat when they meet in their second Group D game in the Fifa U20 World Cup in Poland on Monday.<\/p>\n
Goals from Maxwell Effiom, Henry Offia, Ayotomiwa Dele-Bashiru, and Aliu Salawudeen helped Paul Aigbogun\u2019s side kick off their campaign with a 4-0 demolition of Qatar on Friday.<\/p>\n
After USA lost 2-1 to Ukraine in their opener, Nwosu believed the Americans will be firing on all cylinders in their quest to reach the knockout stage of the competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should approach the game with all seriousness. That we won the first game does not mean we have to take our eyes off the pedal,\u201d Nwosu told Goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is when we win the second game we can be celebrating, because once we win against USA, then we have qualified for the next round.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will plead with them that they should take the game with every seriousness it deserves, at least get a draw. They should go for a win and if it ended in a draw, good for them too.<\/p>\n
\u201cUSA will come strong against Nigeria after they lost their opening game that is why the Flying Eagles have to be well prepared for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want to qualify to the next round as well, so we must be ready to work harder to get a good result in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Flying Eagles lead the Group D table on goal difference as they are tied on three points with Ukraine, while USA and Qatar are placed third and fourth respectively, after both lost their opening games.<\/p>\n
Nigeria’s best outings in the Fifa U20 World Cup were in 1989 and 2005, where they finished as runners-up behind Portugal and Argentina, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
