This much was disclosed by the optimistic Flamingos head coach Busari Hakeem Ishola in an exclusive chat with Prompt News in Rabat ahead of the crucial match between Nigeria and Puerto Rico today.

According to him, the team has put the initial setback behind them and has resolved to go all out in the subsequent matches to get positive results that will help Nigeria to progress out of the group and beyond.

Busari would not dwell on the past game but looking forward to fashion out a winning formula against Puerto Rico, pointing out that he and his wards are aware that they could not afford to falter against their today’s opponents who lost woefully to North Korea in their first match but will approach the encounter with all seriousness it deserves.

“We have reviewed our first match against Poland and I can say we have learnt our lessons and will improve on every aspect of the game to avoid what led to our first loss. Also, we have watched the North Korea versus Puerto Rico match and I believe will have a good understanding of how yo approach our next match”, Busari revealed.
