Nigeria U20 assistant coach, Nduka Ugbade, has described as 'wonderful' the choice of Germany as the Flying Eagles' final preparatory venue.
The 2015 African Youth Championship winners began their training in the European nation on Monday afternoon as they fine tune strategy for the world youth football showpiece.
Ugbade, who was a member of the Fifa U17 World Cup winning Golden Eaglets at UAE 2013, admits the venue will help the African champions to finalize their arts and strategies in order to compete favourable at the age-grade World Championship.
"The training tour to Germany is a wonderful one. Our stay in Germany will surely be a very good one," Ugbade told Goal.
"What we make of the team is that we are going to be highly committed and not just preparing to participate.
“We hope to prepare both physically, technically, tactically and most importantly psychological part of it.
The former Golden Eaglets captain explained that the trip of Germany will hugely expose some of the players who were not acquainted with international football and as well boost their focus and readiness.
"Because most of them have not travelled out before minus few that have go out and some of the members of the team that have played international football, so this good opportunity for them.
"So in order for us to do so, we must use Germany to concentrate very well and use of all the facilities available to build so that we can have the capacity to deliver.
"For us to succeed in New Zealand and bring back home the World Cup, we need to be very strong and capable to deliver what we are pursuing.
"We know it is not going to be easy but the task of it is great having the opportunity to go out and concentrate more," he concluded.
Coach Manu Garba is expected to submit his final 21-man squad list on May 15 World Championship, which is scheduled to hold from May 30 to June 20.
