Nigeria's coach, Eric Chelle, has outlined what the Super Eagles must do to secure a victory against Algeria in their quarterfinal match at Marrakech Stadium on Saturday.
As they head into the quarterfinals, Nigeria has performed admirably in the tournament, winning four matches, scoring twelve goals, and conceding only four.
Algeria has also won all of their matches and has allowed just one goal.
During a press conference on Friday, the Malian coach stated that for the Super Eagles to triumph in this crucial quarterfinal match, they need to score more goals than their opponent.
He remarked, “To win the game, we must score goals. We analyze the game and identify the weaknesses of our opponents.
“We communicate to our team that there is a path to victory. This is a consistent approach, and the same applies to the Algerian coach.
“Certainly, we concentrate on Algeria’s vulnerabilities, but this is the quarterfinals, a significant competition. Therefore, your mental state and mindset are crucial because you must manage the pressure, contend with the opponent, and adhere to your coach’s strategies.
“We strive to put forth our best effort every day and in every training session. That’s why I consistently emphasize the importance of training whenever I discuss our preparations.”
If Nigeria defeats Algeria on Saturday, many may perceive it as a form of revenge since the Desert Warriors eliminated the Super Eagles in the semifinals of the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.
