Former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper, Dele Alampasu has hailed the Nigerian U17 boy’s football team, after they qualified for the FIFA U17 World Cup by finishing top of their group at the ongoing CAF U17 championship.
The U17 boys finished as group A winners with seven points, having trsahed hosts Niger and Zambia, and secured a draw against Guinea.
Alampasu who was Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper at the last FIFA U17 World Cup, said the Boys needed to be encourage, and can do better than them if they still keep their focus and determination.
In his words “It’s difficult to compare because they are two different teams.
We had some very good players in our team and I know they have some very good players as well now.
“But I guess we will have to wait a little longer to be sure of which is better because they are just starting and we won the World Cup. “I feel very happy for them; I think they’ve done well by qualifying for the World Cup and also finishing top of their group. It somehow reminds me of our time.
“Of course we didn’t win it, but I pray they win it this time and make Nigeria proud. It will definitely be a thing of joy to all of us if that happens, if they still keep their Focus and determination. He said
