A brace by Godwin Saviour and goals too from Kingsley Sokari and Isaac Success condemned North Korea to their second thrashing at Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth after they crashed 5-1 to Hungary on Monday.
“We have not got into our groove yet, we are only picking up gradually,” Manu admitted at a press conference after the win over the Asians.
He also praised the Koreans for stepping up their game against the African champions after they fell woefully to Hungary on Monday.
“They gave a good account of themselves, they were lo better than they were against Hungary as they possessed the ball very well, but they have to improve in their finishing,” he remarked.
Manu said he would have loved to have more than four goals on Thursday.
The winners and runners-up in Group E could well be decided on goals difference after Hungary trounced the North Koreans on the opening day and Brazil are expected to massacre the Asians on Sunday in Christ Church.
“I would have loved that we won this game (vs Korea) by six, seven goals,” lamented Manu.
“All the same, the victory was most important for us.
“And on Sunday our final group game against Hungary will be a must-win.”
