Flying Eagles coach, Ladan Bosso has described today's goalless draw with Japan at the World Youth Championships as a blessing in disguise.
Speaking after the Eagles finished second in Group F at the Victoria Centenial Park Stadium, Bosso said he expected a tough outing against the Japanese, who finished group winners, with seven points, same as the Nigerians, but with a superior goals advantage.
"I knew it was a going to be a good match, and you could really see how strong the sides were today. Of course, we have to change things up in that situation just for to give more boys some experience. I came here with 21 players, and they are all capable of giving us results.
"We wanted to test out some of them, and I had to give them a chance before the next round. I think fatigue set in for both sets of players because of the weather and the tempo of the game.
"We were never prepared to lose the match, and I thought we should win, but it might be a blessing in disguise. The issue of finishing is just a soccer issue, but the most important thing in the game is that you create chances.
"The chances were there, it was just our finishing. If we had made just one of our chances, we would have taken the three points. So, we know what we need to work on ahead of the next match."
