“Football is like that, sometimes you will do your best, and the ball will not go in. We have seen a lot of games this week where similar things happen,” added the Malian.
“What I can only tell my players is to play with intensity. We want to take control of the game from the first minute.
“The most important thing is what we do in the opening five, 10, 15 minutes. We also must be in the right state of mind to active our objective.”
Good Preparation
The Super Eagles opened camp for the game on Tuesday.
Chelle expressed satisfaction with his team’s preparation for the crucial clash.
“The preparation has been good. All the players here are good enough to play on start. We have one more training session, and will decide after that the players that will start,” he stated.
