WAFU U-20 Championship: Flying Eagles will bounce back from Burkina Faso loss – Zubairu
Flying Eagles head coach, Aliyu Zubairu has vowed his team will bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Burkina Faso.
The defending champions lost 1-0 to the Young Stallions in their opening fixture at the WAFU B U-20 Championship on Friday.
The Flying Eagles were totally outplayed by the Burkinababes in the encounter.
Zubairu’s side must now beat Cote d’Ivoire in their last group game to have any chance of progressing to the semi-finals.
The gaffer declared that his side will give their best against the Ivorians.
“Burkina Faso are a very physical side and we tried to match them for power against my instructions,” the coach explained.
“We have five days to prepare well for the game against Cote d’Ivoire, which we have to win by more than a goal to reach the next round.
“We share the pains of the fans because we ought not to lose to Burkina Faso, but they should continue to believe in the team and support us.
“We will forge ahead.”
