Manu Garba's lads qualified for the second round of the competition in the wee hours of Sunday after a Taiwo Awoniyi brace ensured a 2-0 win over Hungary in the third match of Group E, and Kaita has urged the team to remain focused if they are to go beyond the next round.
He said the Flying Eagles could afford to be complacent if they do not want to kiss the competition goodbye against Germany on Wednesday.
“I said it before their last two matches against North Korea and Hungary that these boys have the potential to go all the way and their problem may lie only in themselves,” Kaita told Goal.
“With victories in their last two matches, they have proved to Nigerians that they have the mentality to overcome every challenge that they face at the ongoing World Cup. They were awesome against Hungary and I will implore them to get even better against Germany.”
Kaita featured in the Flying Eagles squad led by Samson Siasia to the 2005 Fifa U20 World Cup played in the Netherlands.
Nigeria’s U20 team were losing finalists to Argentina on that occasion after Lionel Messi inspired his side to a 2-1 win in the final.
