Super Eagles players, Stanley Nwabali and Samuel Chukwueze, have in separate recorded video messages urged players of the NPFL Youth League to work hard and listen to their Coaches.
Rangers International, Rivers United, Plateau United, Katsina United, and Remo Stars are the five teams that emerged from the zonal qualifiers for the Championship finals.
Chukwueze, who joined AC Milan of Italy from Vilareal, Spain, admonished the younger players to work hard at their games and have the determination and humility to succeed.
“I just want to say you should keep working hard and believe in yourselves.
“I know it’s not easy, and nobody is going to tell you that it’s easy.
“Keep working hard, keep pushing. The most important thing is determination, humility, and keep believing in yourself to go far, “advised the Super Eagles winger.
Nwabali, who was a revelation of the 34th AFCON in Ivory Coast, also encouraged the players to push themselves to their limits and pay attention to their Coaches.
He said, “I am here to encourage the NPFL U-17 players to keep pushing always, be attentive, and respect your coaches.”
The former NPFL Goalkeeper, who is now based in South Africa, also reminded the upcoming players that success does not come easy.
His words, “I know it’s difficult, it’s harsh, but I believe you can always be like me or even better than me.”
The NPFL Youth League Championship finals will be held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin from February 24 to March 2.
