As Eaglet  prepares for the ongoing tournament finals today, a “Nigerian machine’’ who has shot himself into light with the Mexico match,  Kelechi Iheanacho has said that the defending champions, Mexico were having a bad dream in their revenge mission today.

 Iheanacho who scored four out of the six goals and today stands tall as one of the contenders for the hotshot award said “football is good at offering second chances, but the bad news for the revived Mexicans is that “We’ve got better since that opener. We’ve become closer and we’re going to chase them all over the field; we’re going to press them with our attackers and we won’t rest. We’ll go at them for 90 minutes until we’re sure the trophy is ours’’, he said with a note of certainty.

Defending champions, Mexico have recovered from the pangs of that 6-1 humiliation in the hands of the Golden Eaglets to play in today’s final, beating notable teams like Brazil and Argentina before squaring up against the Nigerian goal-machines.

 “I’m sure they won’t feel great about that first result. They’ll want to put pressure on us and we’ll have to be careful. We’ll respect them, but it’s hard to go against us when we’re playing our good football”, Kelechi said.

 “We have to work as a team, play as a team,” he added, knowing fully well he and his mates have offered as harmonious a brand of football as any before at this age level. “This is how you win matches.” He added. The match starts by 5:00pm local time later today.
