John Obuh Urges NFF To Organise Quality Friendly Matches For Flying Eagles Ahead World Cup in Poland By Niyi Busari Former Nigeria's Flying Eagles coach John Obuh has urged the Nigeria Football Federation to arrange quality friendly matches for Flying Eagles if they must do well at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland, BSNSports.com.ng can report. Obuh stated this while speaking with www.BSNSports.com.ng after Flying Eagles 3-0 bashing of NNL side, Rarara FC in Abuja on Wednesday. In his words: "I don't really like to rely on all these kind of friendlies that they played. I think by this time they suppose to be playing a higher level team in the friendly games, like some strong NPFL teams who can really give them a fight. This kind of game they won against a NNL side, Rarara FC and win 3-0 can only deceive the players and coaching crew. So, I don't think this kind of game is important for them. Though, probably they played for keeping fit." Obuh told www.bsnsports.com.ng John Obuh stated that there is no easy group at the world cup adding that all teams that qualified for the tournament have quality players. He advised Nigeria's U20 team not to underrate any team in the group "I am sure they must have corrected their mistakes which were obvious at the AFCON in Niger but I don't want to look at countries by their standard of play as it was before because the game has changed, every country now has up their games. "So its no longer about Qatar, USA and Ukraine but about the quality players in the Flying Eagles. And for all these countries to qualify and represent their continent means that they are good. Nigeria is a country that even the smallest in Africa would be prepared to play. So, they shouldn't look down on any group as I see it as a tough group. If they work very hard I believe they can come if the group. "As long as the team wants because it has to do with the quality of the players and what they feel, this time for the players to make decisions, if they want to go and play one match and get eliminated and they come back, they are off. He argued that the responsibility to win the title in a major tournament like FIFA U20 World Cup is most times depend on the willingness of players to become champions. "I think its time for them to d if they want to be the next U23 and Super Eagles its time to show the world what they possess and they must play to coach instructions and add their own brilliant ideas. "This competition is step by step, the first is to get out of the group, and by the time they get out of the group stage definitely they will have another target and mindset, that is how some coaches work," he stated. Nigeria is grouped alongside Qatar, USA and Ukraine.
