Nduka Ugbade says the Eaglets duel against Morocco Atlas Cubs will be a massive tactical battle.
Both teams lock horns in Group B top of the table clash at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) today in Constantine.
The tactician admitted that he is ‘afraid’ of Morocco himself, but notes that his side will fight till the end to clinch three points and move top of the group.
“It is going to be a very tough match and I must admit that I am very afraid of Morocco myself. But, we are going for just three things; win, win and win,” Ugbade said on Tuesday.
“Morocco is a very good tactical side. I watched a bit of their match against South Africa and I was impressed with how they played. They defend very well and are tactically disciplined and very compact. We are going to see a very big tactical battle,” said the coach.
The Atlas Cubs lead Group B with three points and two goals difference from their 2-0 victory over South Africa on Match Day One, while the Golden Eaglets are second also with three points, but with only a goal following their opening day 1-0 win over Zambia.
