Musa on Falconets vs Netherlands
Ahead of the clash, Musa revealed that his team will not take the Netherlands lightly as their aim is to secure a semifinal spot.
In a message by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Musa said, “The Dutch are a super-strong squad to have survived that group where the Americans were sent packing. In any event, any team in the quarter-finals must be a super-strong squad.
We will not under-rate them, just as we did not under-rate any of France, Korea Republic, and Canada.
“As I said at the beginning of the tournament, we are taking it one match at a time. Our overall plan for each of the games in the group phase worked well. And I believe that our overall plan for the match against The Netherlands will work as well.”
