•Coach Chelle and Super Eagles
Coach Eric Chelle of Super Eagles has given a hint about changing the team’s strategy ahead of the match against the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.
The Super Eagles would hope to win the game so that they will be at the summit of Group C in Fes, reports Daily Independent.
Both teams will go into the contest on the back of wins in their first matches. While the Super Eagles edged out Tanzania 2-1, Tunisia defeated Uganda 3-1.
In the game against Tanzania, the Super Eagles were dominant in most parts of the clash but had to manage a slim victory.
Now they will face a more formidable opposition in the 2004 AFCON champions in Tunisia.
Speaking in his presser today, Chelle said he will have to approach the game differently because he will come up against a very good side.
“In my mind, I have two options: the first is maybe to let Tunisia have the ball, or when we get the ball back, we go direct, or we continue with our philosophy,” Chelle said.
“As we know, Tunisia is a good team, and maybe we will change something.
“We had our training sessions after the first game, and in the sessions we tried to add more intensity. We have a game against a great team, so let’s go for this game.
“I have to prepare my players well, as it’s not going to be easy. Tunisia is a great team, a I said; they have a lot of good players with experience, lots of young players, so they play well as a team.”
