Former Captain of Nigeria's Green Eagles, Christian Chukwuemeka Chukwu, believes the Flying Eagles have what it takes to emerge winners of the African Youth Championship here in South Africa.
Chukwu who coached the Super Eagles between 2002 and 2005, was at the Milpark Stadium yesterday when Stanley Okoro and Ramon Azeez scored to give Nigeria a 2- nil win over Gambia and earn a ticket to the semi finals and the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The member of the Nigeria Football Federation Technical Committee, said he saw a lot of quality in the Flying Eagles’ team, and he believed the team would make Nigeria proud at the event, stressing that the players are skilful, dogged and they persevere, a move he explained that are good ingredients for a team to succeed.
Having watched the Group A match between Mali and Lesotho on Saturday, Chukwu is confident that Nigeria could overcome the opposition in Thursday’s first semi final at Dobsonville.
