Super Eagles players, Stanley Nwabali and Samuel Chukwueze have urged players of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Youth League to work hard and listen to their coaches.
Nwabali and Chukwueze gave the address in separate recorded video messages.
Chukwueze admonished the young 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,” he said to the youth players.
“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 to keep believing in yourself to go far.”
On his part, Nwabali encouraged the players to push themselves to their limits and pay attention to their coaches.
“I am here to encourage the NPFL U-17 players to keep pushing always, be attentive, and respect your coaches.
“I know it’s difficult, it’s harsh, but I believe you can always be like me or even better than me,” he said.
Rangers International, Rivers United, Plateau United, Katsina United, and Remo Stars will participate in the youth league playoffs billed for the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium from February 24th to March 2nd 2024.
