Udeze Backs Flying Eagles to Beat Côte d’Ivoire but Warns Over Defensive Lapses

Former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Udeze believes the Flying Eagles have what it takes to defeat hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the WAFU B U-20 Championship semi-final. Nigeria finished second in Group B after a 2-0 loss to Burkina Faso in their final group match. The team had already secured a place in the knockout stage with victories over Ghana (4-2) and Togo (3-0). Udeze praised the team's ability but urged them to tighten up defensively. He noted that they concede too many goals and must address that weakness against Côte d’Ivoire.
