Ahead of the semi-final clash with Germany, Head coach of Nigeria’s U-23 team, Samson Siasia, has called on his boys to focus.
Siasia insisted that he was not thinking of Brazil, who they might face if they qualify for the final.
He said: “I don’t want to worry about Brazil right now. I have the semi-final against Germany to think about and that is the only thing in my mind right now. After crossing the Germany hurdle, we will think of our opponents for the gold medal match,” Siasia said.
“We saw what the Brazilians did to the Danish team (4-0); they are a very good side. They didn’t start well but the most important thing is how well you end. It’s not easy scoring four goals against this Danish team.
“We have gone through a lot on this journey and we cannot get to the gold medal match and then freeze.”
