Head coach of Jamaica Rudolph Speid is upbeat on his team’s chances of beating Nigeria in the final of the Unity Cup on Saturday, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Jamaica defeated India 2-0 to set up a final against Nigeria who were winners over Zimbabwe with the same scoreline. It will be a repeat of last year’s final where Nigeria triumphed on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
The coach said they are looking forward to an exciting game, but hope for a better result than the last time they met in the final around a year ago.
“We always look forward to playing them. Last year was very exciting, it was a 2-2 draw. This year, I hope we’ll have better results against them.”
“We saw them play on Tuesday night. We’ll do some more analysis on what they will be doing and then we will decide if we need to change anything.”
“Well, they are very, very good but every team is beatable, and we have to be aware of what they bring. We have some things to bring ourselves.
“Jamaica is still in a rebuilding stage, lots of young players. As with the game these days, nobody is a winner before the game is played. That’s where we are right now,” he concluded.
