John Obuh, the Golden Eaglets Chief Coach has assured Nigerians that he has a good idea of the Argentine team and has mapped out strategy accordingly to enable his boys tackle them today in their last group game.
Obuh in a chat with this reporter last night admitted that he had problems in the first match against Germany, because "I hadn't any information about them before the match.
"I was only able to watch clips of the Germans thirty minutes before our match with them. But the situation is different with the Argentines", he assured.
The Chief Coach maintained that the competition has provided him the opportunity to "have seen enough of the Argentines to be able to tackle them in today's match".
Obuh who is under pressure to repeat the feat archived by the late Yemi Tella in South Korea two years ago noted that he has been able to correct most of the lapses identified in the last two matches.
He stressed that though he has great respect for the Argentines" his side will easily and tactical display, "I have overrun them. He sounded boastful.
"The Argentines are good but we have equally good boys to march them skill for skills", he assured.
The Argentines are currently leading the table with six maximum points after winning their first two matches against Honduras and Germany respectively and have already booked their place in the next round of the cadet championship. They are seeking to win the cup for the first time after having lost out at the semi final of the championship on three previous occasions.
