Izilein spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Benin, while reacting to the team’s 4-2 victory over Mexico in the semi-finals of the U-17 World Cup in Chile.
The coach noted that upgrading of the team was necessary, following the tactical display, discipline and skills exhibited by the players during matches.
Izilein, however, stressed the need for continuity of the team.“The problem is that when they finish like this, it is the duty of the NFF to instruct the coaches handling U-20 team to invite them.
The former Eaglets coach, who tipped Nigeria to win the cup for the fifth time, said the players had also learnt a lot from the rich knowledge of their coach, Emmanuel Amuneke.
“I am not surprised by their performance because their coach, Amuneke was a disciplined player and has obviously transformed that quality into the team,’’ Izilein said.
