Golden Eaglets' Head coach Emmanuel Amuneke has yet again thanked Nigerians with a special kudos to President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) after his wards decimated the A Selecao of Brazil 3-0 in Sunday's quarter-final match at FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 in Vina del Mar.
Among the goals for the four-time champions within a spate of five minutes in the first half, were Victor Osimhen who took his tally to eight goals in five matches; as well as Kingsley Michael and Udochukwu Anumudu .
Amuneke told thenff.com;
"Today is one of my happiest days because there were so many who doubted our abilities since we started this journey," “But I’m grateful to God for making this (victory) possible for us and qualified for the semi finals against all odds.”
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the players as well as the other technical team and backroom staff because as a team , we believe in what we are 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 want to enjoy this moment before planning for our next match.
”Today’s victory represent change(for our country) in the sense that many who doubted us would see that hard work , merit and truth are non-negotiable terms in this team.
“ Personally, I give kudos to President Buhari for introducing some changes in our country ; and If all of us can embrace those changes, we can confidently say that everybody irrespective of where you come from can be given an equal opportunity to play for the county.
