Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle said he has worked hard to implement his style on the team and while that did not deliver 2026 World Cup qualification, it is clear they are warming to his methods at the Cup of Nations.
“I have worked a lot since taking over my role with the Nigerian national team; we put in a lot of effort during preparations,” Chelle said after the win over Algeria.
“My vision has been implemented in the Nigerian team, and we must continue working in this manner.
“The victory we achieved against Algeria was deserved. The match was fantastic, and I am very happy with the win. After this match, we have another game, and we will prepare for it.
“Morocco is a strong team, and there will be pressure in front of the host nation. The best team will win. I am proud that we will face Morocco, and I hope it will be a good match, with the best team winning.”
