What is new here? The Congo playoff tortuous reminder?
Something went wrong with the Dr Congo playoff! The team on display are not bad and they have played very well today compared to the lethargic and lousy display against Congo.
They (Super Eagles) are much more mobile and lethal today and have not relied on Osimhen as only point man with a defender scoring the only goal at half time. I expect more goals in 2nd half- I like the movements of Akor, acting as decoy to free up Osimhen.
Goodluck Super Eagles.
Honestly, chelle has nothing more to offer . He is the reason lost to Dr congo. At this level details matter . Chelle lack details. What is chukweze doing in that pitch.? He is minus one. He is not suited to games in which the opponents sit deep. Chelle out to learn this fast….
