HEAD Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke has reacted swiftly after Mexico became known as the Golden Eaglets' semi-final opponent following the Baby El Tri's 2-0 spanking of Ecuador in Monday's quarter-final in Coquimbo.
"We welcome the challenge of meeting Mexico again because we are more or less old foes," said Amuneke in reference to the double victories claimed by the Golden Eaglets Class of 2013 over Mexico in the group phase (6-1) and Final Match (3-0) in the United Arab Emirates.
"I think it is going to be an interesting game because the Mexicans have shown in this tournament that they are a very solid side but we will continue to work towards this important semi final game."
The Golden Eaglets have since continued with their preparation and would had one training session on Tuesday at a training ground in Chiguayante district in ConcepciĆ³n. The mandatory official training at Estadio Municipal Ester Roa will come up on Wednesday before the match at the same venue on Thursday.
