Sunday OlisehSuper Eagles coach optimistic of progressing at CHAN

Oliseh posited that lesson learnt on today’s game would go a long way to prepare his players for Nigeria’s final group match against the Syli Stars of Guinea on Tuesday in Ribavu.

The Eagles put themselves in a win or draw situation against Guinea after they were held to a 1-1 draw by the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in their second group match Friday afternoon at the Stade de Kigali, Kigali.

Super Eagles B striker, Tunde Adeniji has suggested he’s not distracted by his subs role in the team as first choice Chisom Chikatara struggles for fitness.

“We are far from where we are hoping to get to”.

The next generation network expressed confidence in the capability of the Eagles’ coaching crew to evolve the winning formula that would overwhelm the fellow West Africans.

Globacom also tasked the Nigeria Football Federation not to spare any effort at motivating the players and technical crew to secure the quarter finals ticket. “We want to try and make amends in our next game, but let’s remember that Guinea are a very aggressive team”, Zahoui said. “Hopefully, they will be fit for Tuesday”, Oliseh said.

The former Borrusia Dotmund midfielder expressed delight at his team’s performance saying that Nigeria is still in contention to top the Group C.

“As you can see, we have been scoring goals and that has never been a problem for us”.
