Mexico Will Fall Again - Awoniyi

[Folami David]

Golden Eaglets striker, Taiwo Awoniyi says victory in tomorrow's Fifa Under 17 World Cup final against Mexico is more important than earning a professional deal at a leading team.
.
Talent scouts from a variety of the world's top clubs have set up base in the UAE during the past month in the hope of unearthing a gem.
.
The potential rewards at this competition are likely to last beyond Friday's final for many of the leading teenaged footballers. But which should take priority — the chance to win the trophy, or the possibility of securing a contract at a major club?
.
"Let me just say that winning the World Cup is very important — but they are both very, very important," Awoniyi said after scoring the opening goal in the 3-0 semi-final win over Sweden on Tuesday.
.
"You are not winning a World Cup for yourself. You are winning it for your family, your nation at large.
.
When you win the World Cup, your name goes down in history."
.
Fortunately for Awoniyi and his colleagues, the compelling nature of Nigeria's play to date will have caught the eye of even the least observant scout.
.
Awoniyi, who turned 16 in August, has scored four goals in six games; his team have weighed in with 23 overall in that time.
.
"As a human being, you always have to try your best, you have to put everything into it," he said.
.
"I believe what the guys in this team have done so far in this competition, we have done a lot for the scouts to see from us. By the special grace of God, it is our ambition to play for a big club."

Amen is all I can say to this.
Amen and Amen and Amen.

Mexico really surprised me with the way they reached the final so I'm giving it to The Golden Eaglets.
