Eric Chelle, coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, says he is certain of beating Tanzania in Uyo on Friday in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. He says the players' mindset, intensity and attitude will be decisive, according to Business Day Nigeria.
Nigeria coach Eric Chelle said on Friday in Uyo that his players were in good condition ahead of their match against Tanzania in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, according to Business Day Nigeria.
The Nigerian coach said his team had a clear plan and needed to remain focused, with high intensity and the right mental attitude. He said he would take responsibility for the result, whether positive or negative. Tanzania have already qualified for AFCON 2027 as one of the host countries, but Chelle believes a victory against Nigeria would nevertheless be an important achievement for the Taifa Stars.
The press conference took place on the same day as the publication of the Super Eagles' 2027 AFCON qualification stakes. Chelle had also explained striker Ilenikhena’s absence as being due to an injury.
