“Looking at the strength of North Korea, I think they have played two games, scored twelve goals and conceded only one. That shows the level of how brilliant they are in front of goal,” Busari said.
“We would try to come compact, slow them down, and put more men behind the ball but we don’t sit back.” The coach added.
The North Korean team has already qualified for the next round of the tournament after securing emphatic wins over Puerto Rico (6-0) and Poland (6-1).
The Flamingos which has lost their first game to Poland 2-1 and later defeated Puerto Rico by 2-0 in their second Group B game now face an uphill task against the high flying North Korean in their quest to secure a ticket to the next round of the competition.
