Former Black Stars skipper John Mensah confident of victory for Black Starlets against Niger

Former Black Stars captain John Mensah is confident the Black Starlets will defeat the Ménas of Niger in tomorrow’s FIFA U-17 World Cup round of 16 match.

The Black Starlets are looking forward to another victory over the Nigeriens after beating them to reach the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations final and they have the backing of Mensah.

The former Sunderland defender believes the starlets have what it takes to record victory but entreat them to eschew complacency.

“They shouldn’t be complacent at all, going into their next game against Niger, they should play their hearts out. They shouldn’t think that because they won 4-0 against India it will be easy, it will be difficult but I believe in them, I know they can do it” he told Asempa sports.

“The players should make sure they stay together, listen to the coach and try as much as they can to avoid mistakes and fight for the nation” he advised.

The Black Starlets are scheduled to play Niger at 2:30 pm.
