Flying Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, has expressed the determination of the team to win all games at the ongoing Super Four competition holding in Abuja. The Flying Eagles remain the only team to have recorded a 100 per cent record in the Super Four event been competed for by six teams.
The League management Company, organisers of the event, brought in the Flying Eagles and the national U-23 team to boost their preparation for their respective continental campaigns.
Coach Manu Garba has led the U-20 team to whip Enyimba 2-0, beat Kano Pillars 2-1, and defeat Warri Wolves 1-0.The team has scored five goals and the only goal conceded so far is an own goal.
Awoniyi argued that the team was not near perfect yet but the players had enough understanding to clinch the Super Four. He said; “We are still working hard to get things right but in the ongoing competition, we are not ready to drop any game. We want to win all and move on. “It will be a big boost if we can achieve this as we prepare for the African Youth Championship but we still have two matches to go.
The Flying Eagles will on Friday (today) clash with Dolphin in continuation of the competition and they will also meet the U-23 team on Sunday in the last match. Meanwhile, coach Sam Okpodu of Warri Wolves has commended his players despite losing to the Flying Eagles on Wednesday. Okpodu stood in for Paul Aigbogun at the post match conference after a Musa Mohammed first half goal earned the national team its third straight victory in the competition.
