The tactician says a win over the Concacaf side is needed to sustain the Flying Eagles’ winning attitude

 

Ladan Bosso claims victory against Dominican Republic will help ‘stabilise’ Nigeria’s winning mentality.

The Flying Eagles begin their quest for global glory against the Concacaf country inside the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.

This is the first time both countries would be meeting at this level; nevertheless, the Nigerians are outstanding favourites to secure victory.

Ahead of the showdown in Mendoza, Bosso is impressed with the country’s preparations for the championship, however, states the importance of getting a result against Walter Benitez’s side.

“As I stated earlier, we are happy with the results from the two friendly matches we played in Buenos Aires,” Bosso was quoted by NFF media.

“We won one against an Argentina club and then drew with the Colombia U20 team that’s also taking part in this tournament. Those are not bad results.

“More than anything else, what the results have done is to give us confidence that we can get the job done.

“Victory over Dominican Republic on Sunday will stabilise our winning mentality.

“It is a factor that matters in championships and that is why we are determined to win on Sunday.”

After the fixture against Dominican Republic, Nigeria square up against Italy on May 24 before trying slugging it out with five-time world champions three days later.
