Flying Eagles captain, Daniel Bameyi is upbeat the team can become the second African country after Ghana to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup title.
The Eagles have made it to the final twice in the past but failed at the last hurdle.
Bameyi, however, believes the class of 2023 can bring the coveted trophy to Nigeria.
“Yeah. This is football, everything can happen, any team is beatable. As my coach would say, we just have to be disciplined, dedicated, do our job, concentrate. Let’s see how it goes, but I believe in this team. We can do it,” Bameyi told FIFA.com.
The Flying Eagles are through to the quarter-finals at the ongoing U-20 World Cup in Argentina.
Ladan Bosso’s boys will be up against South Korea after recording a stunning 2-0 victory against hosts Argentina in the Round of 16 on Wednesday night.
The versatile defender is anticipating a difficult test against the Asians.
“First of all, there is no small team in the World Cup. Every team in this competition is good. You must respect every team,”Bameyi added.
“Then any team in the knockout stage is obviously very good. I think the Koreans are a very good team. They have beaten other very good teams. I think they have very good players. We have a lot of respect for them.”
