Shape up or be ready to go home, Amuneke warns Eaglets

Golden Eaglets Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke has issued an ultima­tum to players not pulling their weight in the national Under-17 team, asking them to either shape up or get out.

Speaking to the ‘old boys’ who won bronze medals at the recently concluded WAFU B Tournament in Togo along with other pro­spective, Amuneke said the separation of the wheat from the chaff is an on-going

process until a final list is compiled.

The second phase of the screening, which started on May 1st had thrown up some new prospects and the fight to be part of the team continues, with much intensity, even as Amuneke warned for the umpteenth time that,

“nobody is guaranteed a shirt yet.

“I have to be frank with you and the truth is that I’m not happy with some of you be­cause you have forgotten so soon all what we learned in Togo,” fumed Amuneke.

“But one thing is clear, those of you who are not ready to play for the team would soon go home.”

Meanwhile, the second-phase of screen­ing is gathering momentum with hundreds of players drooping to the NFF/FIFA Goal Proj­ect Pitch in Abuja since the exercise began on Thursday and the drilling would

continue throughout this week. Amuneke said there is a level playing field for all-com­ers.
