This is a match that will determine the expectations of Nigerians from this tournament.
True assessment by the coach,out boys are fast and athletic,but with minimal technical skills. It’s not all Doom and Gloom,Bosso needs to justify his pay,his inputs are required to guide the boys to play as a team,seek to retain possession, limit Italian forays into dangerous areas and punish them with quick,decisive and well executed counters.
Mind game! Hmm! Nunziata alagbari.
