Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Confident for Tanzania Matches
Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, stated that Nigeria's chances of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations remain intact, emphasizing the importance of winning both matches against Tanzania in November. Following a 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau, the Super Eagles currently sit second in Group L with three points, trailing Guinea-Bissau by three points.
Chelle acknowledged the team's poor performance, describing it as a "bad day" and praised Guinea-Bissau for their superior aggression and motivation. He noted that the playing conditions in Bissau were challenging, as it was the first time his team played on that pitch and the weather was very hot.
Chelle remains optimistic, stating that there are still four matches left and a lot can change in that time.
