The coach told Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official website that the team is being propelled out there in Chile by the positive changes President Buhari is bringing to bear in the country.
His words: “The 3-0 victory over Brazil represents change (for our country) in the sense that many who doubted us will see that hard work, merit and truth are non-negotiable terms in this team.
“Personally, I give kudos to President Buhari for introducing changes in our country; and if all of us can embrace those changes, we can confidently say that everybody irrespective of where they come from can be given an equal opportunity to play for the country.”
Amuneke who was still savoring the victory stated that beating Brazil was a remarkable feat: “Today is one of my happiest days because there were so many who doubted our abilities since we started this journey. I’m grateful to God for making this (victory) possible for us. We have qualified for the semi finals against all odds.”
He continued: “I want to use this opportunity to thank the players as well as my technical team and backroom staff because we are a team. We believed in what we were doing right from the beginning. This is a joyful moment for us and we want God to take all the glory of our success so far in this competition, and we also want to enjoy this moment before planning for our next match.”
