The FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG) saddled with the responsibility of ‘monitoring international matches and identifying latest footballing trends’ has applauded the tactical savvy of Coach Emmanuel Amuneke-led Golden Eaglets after they easily reached the semi-finals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 with no stress on Sunday.
The team, according to TSG’s has brought to bear a new trend with varied styles and deployment of players when ‘having or not having the ball,’ hence the need for clarification.
The TSG was introduced 49 years ago by FIFA at the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England and current Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh was on the panel at the last FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
The Golden Eaglets will play Mexico in the Semi-finals of the competition in what will be a repeat of the 2013 World Cup Finals in United Arab Emirates in which Nigeria were victorious.
