Coach, Eric Chelle, has explained what the Super Eagles need to do to win against Algeria in the quarterfinal match at Marrakech Stadium on Saturday.

Going into the quarterfinals, Nigeria has done really well in the tournament, winning four matches, scoring twelve goals, and letting in just four goals.

Algeria too have won every game they have played and only let in one goal.

On Friday during his press conference, the Malian coach said that for the Super Eagles to win the important quarterfinal game, they need to score more goals than the other team.

He said, “To win the game, we need to score some goals. We look at the game and look for the opponent’s weaknesses.

“We tell our team that we can go through that door. This is the same every time, the same, and the coach of Algeria, this is the same.

“Of course, we focus on Algeria’s weaknesses, but this is the quarterfinals, which is a major competition. So, your mental state and mindset are really important because you have to handle the pressure, deal with the opponent, and follow your coach’s instructions.

“We try to put in effort every day and during every training session. That’s why I always mention the training session every time I talk about it.”

If Nigeria beat Algeria on Saturday, many would think it is a revenge since the Desert Warriors beat the Super Eagles in the semifinals in 2019 AFCON in Egypt.
