Manchester City youth – teamer Kelechi Iheanacho has charged his teammates that Nigeria’s second group game against North Korea at the ongoing FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand tomorrow morning is a must-win for the team.

Iheanacho warned that the game won’t be a stroll in the park.

The Asians, like the Nigerians, have their backs against the wall after losing their opener to Hungary, and Iheanacho has admitted that the Flying Eagles need to grind out a win.

The Flying Eagles’ Number 10 said: “It won’t be easy against Korea especially after they lost so woefully to Hungary, but we also know we need to win, no matter the margin. Good enough, the loss to Brazil does not mean the end of our campaign in New Zealand.”

Ugbade told Brila FM that they expect to come up against compact defence and physically inform side in their second group game, as they are also very strong and determined.

“The North Koreans are disciplined so tactically we expect a defensive game, disciplined and strength-wise they will be very strong; honestly speaking,” Ugbade warned.
